Hi duce,

This toolbox isn't available on Atoms.
To use it from the sources on the forge, you need to download it using
one of the following methods :

  * http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/scimax/source/download/master/
    then unpack the .zip
  * $ git clone git at git.forge.scilab.org:scimax.git

then, in scilab, use cd or the GUI to move to the source folder of the 
toolbox.
 From here you can build the toolbox by executing the builder :

  * --> exec builder.sce

If it built successfully, you can load it :

  * --> exec loader.sce

And then use it, load help files, etc.

!!! This depends on the toolbox Overload, which is also not available on 
Atoms,
and must therefore also be built from source :

  * http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/overload/source/download/master/
    then unpack the .zip
  * $ git clone git at git.forge.scilab.org:overload.git

etc.

You should, in the same Scilab session, run Overload's loader before 
Scimax's loader.

Of course, Atoms exists to avoid all this - hopefully these toolboxes 
could be added
to Atoms in the near future.

Hope this helps,
