I'm on Arch Linux and when I try to install an add-on on Matlab, I get this error: "Unable to install because you do not have write permissions to this folder: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2024a" How can I solve this?

The error message you’re seeing is due to insufficient write permissions for the directory /usr/local/MATLAB/R2024a. This is common when trying to modify system directories as a non-root user.
Try this in terminal:
sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /usr/local/MATLAB/R2024a
This command changes the owner of the /usr/local/MATLAB/R2024a directory to yourusername, giving you write permissions.
Hope this works!

It works but is really dangerous, the better option is to reinstall matlab in a folder after the home folder.
