how much disk space does Matlab R2019a require to build on Linux?

How much disk space does Matlab R2019a require to build on Linux? I am trying to run the installer on a system with 20G free in the relevant partition and it is still failing with "no space left on device". The installer warns me that there might not be enough space, but it doesn't tell me how much it needs.

The previous release R2018B took about 11 or 12 gigabytes, as I recall.

Maybe the download and install size together is more than thos 20GB you have free? I find no real indication on the sys req page, as the install size varies depending on the products you install.

To be honest, installing Matlab on a 20GB free disk is cutting it a bit close to my taste. You might have some performance issues as a result.

The ISO image is 16G. (That doesn't count toward the space used; it's on a file share. However, it might give you insight into the install size it will require.) Anyway, why did it get so much larger compared with the previous one? The ISO data for 2018B was less than 14G (that one was distributed as 2 DVD images) total.

A full installation of all MathWorks product on Linux requires 26GB of disk space. Please refer to this link.

However, if you are installing only MATLAB then 3.1 GB of HDD space is required.
