I'm in same trouble.

Answer 1

[María Vizán]

Maybe your problem is that you didn't put the complete PATH on the call of the installer_input file. Even if the file installer_input.txt is in the same directory as the installer, you have to put the full path.

Hi,

We've recently posted a reference architecture on GitHub for MATLAB on AWS.

   https://github.com/mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-on-aws

It's built for a US-East region, but you could modify the template to be used elsewhere. Would this help?
