VLFeat "Name is nonexistent or not a director" error matlab

I tried to install VlFeat in matlab as mentioned in their website (https://www.vlfeat.org/install-matlab.html), but when I ran the run('VLFEATROOT/toolbox/vl_setup') command I get the following error

Warning: Name is nonexistent or not a directory:
/VLFEATROOT/toolbox/mex/mexa64 
> In path (line 109)
In addpath (line 86)
In vl_setup (line 78)
In run (line 91)

please help me with this issue I'm using Ubuntu 20.04

Solution

  • Problem Solved! I got the above error after I ran the file downloaded from GitHub, instead use this link to download the package(https://www.vlfeat.org/download/vlfeat-0.9.21-bin.tar.gz) extract it, and follow the installation procedure mentioned on their website.
