linux installer for matlab 2021b doesn't bring up dialog box

I tried installing matlab 2021b for Linux by using the following commnad after unzipping the installer:

> sudo ./install

unlike my previous installation experience, nothing shows up after that.

I have tried using sudo su, and chmod -R 777 but nothing changes.

You are having xhost problems; see https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/133944-why-can-t-i-install-matlab-with-the-root-account-in-linux-when-the-installer-works-for-my-user-accou#answer_140586

its been easier for me to just install 2021a instead.

The xhost fix doesn't work for me. I have the same problem running as my current user. Also I can start other X apps with or without sudo. The matlab installer hangs with no output. Serveral ~20 MathWorksProductInstaller instances can be seen in the process list but they are all idle.
