How to run Matlab on WSL (Ubuntu 16.04)?

I want to run Matlab on Ubuntu 16.04 on Windows 10. Follwoing the steps mentioned on the thread: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/308911-can-i-install-matlab-in-bash-on-ubuntu-on-windows.

However, when I run the following commands,

sudo execstack -c glnxa64/libmwblas.so
sudo execstack -c glnxa64/libmwlapack.so
sudo execstack -s glnxa64/MATLAB

I get an error:

execstack: cannot open "glnxa64/libmwblas.so": No such file or directory

execstack: cannot open "glnxa64/libmwlapack.so": No such file or directory

execstack: cannot open "glnxa64/MATLAB": No such file or directory

I tried to locate glnxa64 folder under Matlab directory and it is missing as well.

Any leads to the solution will be much appreciated!

Thank you.

The folder you're referring to is within the bin folder. Probably the full path is: /usr/local/MATLAB/Rversionnumber/bin, in which you substitute Rversionnumber for your version, for example R2019b

btw: I'm not succesful in running R2019b myself. Previous versions were not a problem
