Install MATLAB through `ssh`

For: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS + MATLAB R2024a

ssh -X you@yourserver

#If doesn't exist:
touch ~/.Xauthority
sudo -s
touch /root/.Xauthority
exit

#Make root work with X11 forwarding:
sudo xauth add $(xauth -f ~/.Xauthority list|tail -1)
#This trick is from here: https://blog.mobatek.net/post/how-to-keep-X11-display-after-su-or-sudo/

#Go to MATLAB install directory: 
sudo -H ./install

Activation needed to be done also as sudo matlab, otherwise it just hanged forever.

Afterwards, I could use matlab from my own account (without sudo).
