Matlab R2022a ArchLinux installer problem fix
I got problems installing Matlab R2022a on Arch. Running the installer throws the following error:
```
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): Failed to launch web window with error: Unable to launch the MATLABWindow application. The exit code was: 127
fish: Job 1, 'sudo ./install' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)
```
I fixed it by running the following commands.
