Matlab installation on ArchLinux

As per the wiki, i installed Matlab using MPM (very cool tool)
After trying to run matlab for the first time, it asks me to login, i do, then it hangs for a while and nothing happens.
If run from the console, the message it returns after failing to open is the following:
Unable  to connect with required Mathworks Services(error 5201)

After doing a bit of google-fu, i found a thread on Matlab's forum providing the solution:
reinstalling MathWorks Service Host.
Here is the link to the thread: https://es.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/ … er_1064420
Just downloading the Linux executable and running it fixes the problem.

This also worked on a Fedora machine i have, so it seems like the actual solution to the problem.

As per why i am writing this is to ask someone edit the Matlab page on the wiki to add this into the troubleshooting section.

Thank you in advance
