## create Tarball

Check, that `libselinux` and `libxcrypt-compat` are installed. Otherwise the installer will exit with error code 42 and no further instructions.

-  After logging in and accepting license; select `Advanced Options > I want to download without installing` from the top dropdown menu.
-  Set the download location to an empty directory called `matlab`
-  Select the toolboxes you want.

After downloading; from the parent directory; do
```sh
tar cf matlab.tar matlab
```
to create the tarball. The folder here called `matlab` usually is given the download-time as it's name. Rename to `matlab` before compressing.

Move the matlab.tar to the repository.
Adjust the `pkgver` and `release` vars in the `PKGBUILD` to reflect current release.
Run `makepkg -si` to install.

### mv cannot stat error
In the case of an error in the form of:
`mv: cannot stat 'dependency_links.txt'$'\n''PKG-INFO'$'\n''SOURCES.txt'$'\n''top_level.txt': No such file or directory`

This value can be a float.
