c) Open the "license.lic" file and replace the string "your_host_name" with
the hostname of the computer where Matlab is being installed.

d) Copy the edited "license.lic" file to "/Applications/MATLAB7/etc".

e) Now you are all set to run Matlab. Enjoy!

Unix/Linux
----------

a) Create the directory where Matlab will be installed ("/usr/local/matlab7").
Copy the "license.dat" file to the directory. Let us call this dir $MATLAB
from now on.

b) Run the installer and proceed with the installation.

c) Open the "license.lic" file and replace the string "your_host_name" with
the hostname of the computer where Matlab is being installed.

d) Copy the edited "license.lic" file to "$MATLAB/etc".

e) Now you are all set to run Matlab. Enjoy!

KNOWN ISSUES
------------

- If Matlab does not start and license error is reported, check if the license
files have its permission set to: "-rwxr-xr-x". In other words, the user
running the license manager must have reading permission over the license
files.


I also had .Trash errors when attempting to install this torrent. After some searching, I found this solution.

1) Renamed "matlab_installer Folder" to just "matlab_installer", since Unix commands will not recognise the space between installer and Folder.

2) Open Scrpit Editor, and type the following commands :

do shell script "chmod a+rwx /Volumes/matlab_installer/.Trashes"
do shell script "rm -r /Volumes/matlab_installer/.Trashes"

Be careful of caps, spaces and such, or the script will not work.

3) Run script Editor

You should now be able to run the install program.

Note: You can also open a Terminal and directly type the Unix commands (the part of the script in quotation marks). However, this method is generally for those who are familiar with Unix commands
