My operating system is Linux Ubuntu, and I'm trying to install MATLAB. However, the following occurred initially:
"Failed to create the specified folder. To continue, select a different folder."

After that, I changed to the directory: ~/Downloads/MATLAB/R2022a
I managed to start the installation. At the time of installation, the following error occurred:
"There was an error while extracting product files. Try rerunning the Installer.
For help, see this MATLAB Answer."

The information from the MATLAB Answer link didn't help much.
I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me.

Hola, lo que debes hacer es ejecutar con permisos la instalación, así:
sudo ./install
eso es todo, te instalara los archivos de Matlab en la ruta establecida por defecto y en teoria no debe generar ningun problema adicional
