Failed to create the specified folder. To continue, select a different folder (Linux)

16 views (last 30 days)
My operating system is Linux Ubuntu, and I'm trying to install MATLAB. However, the following occurred initially:
"Failed to create the specified folder. To continue, select a different folder."
After that, I changed to the directory: ~/Downloads/MATLAB/R2022a
I managed to start the installation. At the time of installation, the following error occurred:
"There was an error while extracting product files. Try rerunning the Installer.
For help, see this MATLAB Answer."
The information from the MATLAB Answer link didn't help much.
I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me.

I used the following command: xhost +SI:localuser:root sudo -H ./install
And the error "Failed to create the specified folder. To continue, select a different folder.' didn't appear anymore."
However, during installation, only the error "There was an error while extracting product files. Try rerunning the Installer.
For help, see this MATLAB Answer."
