==== Installation ====
On NixOS I got MATLAB running in an Ubuntu 22.04 Distrobox, though I had to install some libraries in the Distrobox.
  * For Distrobox on NixOS see: 
    * https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/208817
      * "No protocol specified" / can't open display
    * To setup Podman config files so you can download images from Docker Hub: https://beb.ninja/post/installing-podman/

  * cd to your unzipped MATLAB installer folder
  * Run ./bin/glnxa64/MATLABWindow to diagnose, it tells what library is missing.
  * Ubuntu: apt install libgtk2.0-0 libnss3 libatk-bridge2.0-0 libasound2 libxt6 libxft2
