[scilab-Users] Install in Fedora

[Clément DAVID]

Hello Camilo,

Why not using the packaged version ?

 > -> /usr/bin is the most recommended place to install it?
in packaged version

 > -> Perheps creating one alias?
Scilab stock version should be used easily : extract and run

 > -> How can I create an icon in the gnome desktop?
desktop files are installed on the packaged version;
