[Scilab-users] Can't install ATOMS modules

[Andrii Ryzhkov]

Adrien,

I run Windows 8 64bit. But I did the same installation on other Windows 8
PCs and it was fine.
As a temporary workaround , I managed to install ATOMS module manually.
That's how I do it:

1) Try to install ATOMS module in GUI as usual. For example, "MinGw
toolbox". It results in error, but the module is downloaded in
C:\Users\Andrii\AppData\Roaming\Scilab\scilab-5.4.0\atoms\x64\mingw\mingw_0.9.1-1.bin.x64.windows.zip

2) Go to the C:\Program Files\scilab-5.4.0\contrib and make here a folder
named after module name "mingw" in my case. And inside the last one, a
folder with a version number "0.9.1-1".

3) Unzip the content of the module package into C:\Program
Files\scilab-5.4.0\contrib\mingw\0.9.1-1
Keep in mind, that package has an upper level folder and the actual content
is inside of it. Unzip only this content.

4) Execute while running SciLab as administrator
load(SCI+"\.atoms\installed.bin")
Notice, you may have no a C:\Program Files\scilab-5.4.0\.atoms folder. I
enclosed mine, unzip it.

5) Add description of your module
installed_mat = [installed_mat; "mingw", "0.9.1-1", "allusers",
"SCI\contrib\mingw\0.9.1-1", "I"]

6) Delete old file
C:\Program Files\scilab-5.4.0\.atoms\installed.bin

7) Save new one
save(SCI+"\.atoms\installed.bin",installed_mat)

8) Check in GUI if ATOMS module is installed.

Best regards,
Andrii
