You need to have the root privilege in order to write or edit a file in any directory in /usr/local/. The mentioned error occurs because you do not have root privilege and you are trying to install it in a directory other than your home folder.

A quick solution is to install MATLAB on your home directory.

Try sudo ./install from the folder containing the installation file. It worked for me.
