I can't download in Linux SSL Cert error

PBS56:1:3:cadmgr:/tools/featool/downloads>./FEATool_Multiphysics.install
Error: Download process failed - Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)

. Check your internet connectivity, proxy server, firewall, and virus scanner settings and rerun the installer.
Installation failed.


I don't think I have any internet issues - everything else works.

Is it possible the SSL CA Certification expired on your side?

Interesting, the stand-alone installer is supposed to automatically download and install the Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR) directly from the Mathworks (rather than bundling 8-9GB). So I'm guessing the issue is on their end, or some gateway between you and them, not quite sure.

The workaround would be to first download and install it manually from (the toolboxes are currently compiled against the 2019b (9.7) version, others will most likely be incompatible with FEATool/CFDTool):

https://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/matlab-runtime.html

Once the MCR is installed and detected, hopefully the runtime will skip the download dependencies step, and just install the toolbox. However, if it does not the workaround here would be to simply extract the actual toolbox binary and run it manually (the installer is a zip archive).

  mkdir "my_FEATool_install_directory"
  cp FEATool_Multiphysics.installer
  cd "my_FEATool_install_directory"
  unzip FEATool_Multiphysics.installer
  unzip bundle.zip
  cd application
  
  # Run the executable with
  run_FEATool_Multiphysics.sh "path_to_matlab_mcr_runtime"   # for example /home/user/MATLAB/MATLAB_Runtime/v97

Thanks.  That worked.
