Matlab2019 on MacOS Monterey?

Hi! I am trying to configure Matlab2019b on MacOS Monterey, but I got the following error:

Sorry! We could not determine the machine architecture for your host.

I tried the solution from here, but the problem persists in my case.

Is there any workaround this? The 2019b is the most recent version I can use.

R2019b predates support for Monterey.

I am downloading Monterey now to test out the sequence... it may be a while before I am able to update on this topic.

I installed Monterey on an Intel iMac . I then installed MATLAB R2019b without any problems.

If you were attempting to install R2019b on an Apple Silicon, then you should expect that it will not work. There was no Apple Silicon support until MATLAB R2020b Update 3

Thank you for the prompt reply. That's the case, I am using an Apple Silicon. So there is no 'easy way' to work around it?

[Walter Roberson]

I don't want to say that it is impossible... but it would be tricky. You would have to do something like intercept the install_unix script and edit that script to recognize maca64 as an architecture and substitute maci64 . And hope that everything worked out. Definitely no easy way; possibly no hard way either.

Alright! Thank you very much for the helpful insights.
