MATLAB installer download error on Ubuntu 20.04

Hi,

I was trying to install MATLAB on my laptop running Ubuntu 20.04 and this error keeps popping up:

It always comes around this stage of Downloading and Installing. Sadly clicking on "MATLAB Answer" doesnt do anything. Can someone help me debug this?

Hi,

I suspect that the computer or network security software is preventing the MathWorks Installer from connecting to the MathWorks servers and thus leading to this error. Please try disabling any active VPN or Antivirus software and retry. If the issue persists, you can perform an offline installation by referring to this thread - How can I install MATLAB or other MathWorks products on an offline machine? - MATLAB Answers - MATLAB Central

A few restarts and a network reboot solved it for me.
