I got matlab installed in fedora 20, but I do not know how to run it? I tried typing matlab in the teminal, but it does not recognize the command. I am not able to see matlab icon in the apps also. How can I start using it??

MATLAB must be launched from the command line on Linux.
If you completed installation as root user, you may have had the option to install symbolic links to MATLAB in a folder on your system path. If you selected to install these links you can launch MATLAB from the command line, regardless of current working directory, by typing the command:
user@host$> matlab
If this does not work, or if you did not install the symbolic links during installation, you must launch MATLAB by specifying the full path to the MATLAB start script:
user@host$> cd $MATLABROOT/bin
where $MATLABROOT is the full path to your MATLAB installation directory, ex:
/usr/local/matlab/R2009b
then launch MATLAB using the following command:
user@host$> ./matlab
