Is Matlab supported by Linux/Ubuntu on Apple M1 chip?

Is Matlab supported in Linux(Ubuntu) running on an Apple M1 Max chip through Parallels?

The installer seem to identify correctly the architecture to be linux-arm-64, however, there is no linux-arm-64 available in the bin folder, but only glnxa64 is available.

The install scipt is failing with the following error code, as it can't find the right folder (linux-arm-64), and consequently the install command from that folder. Note that the installer's if'elif statements fall though as the the folder linux-arm-64 doesn't exist.

./install: 1: exec: /home/parallels/Downloads/bin/linux-arm-64/install_unix_legacy: not found

MATLAB has a beta that runs natively on M1/M2 series CPUs, but it's only for macOS. The closest thing you'll get to MATLAB running natively on ARM on Linux is MATLAB Online.

Good solution! thank you

Thanks, but this answer is over 2 years old now. MATLAB has native builds for the Apple M-series CPUs. I doubt they still offer those old beta builds for download.

MATLAB Online runs on Intel processors; Intel(R) Xeon(R) in particular.

As of R2025 Pre-release, the only support for ARM processor is for MacOS. If there are ARM versions planned for Linux or Windows, it is being kept quiet.
