[Scilab-users] SCILAB NOT WORKING IN UBUNTU 18.04

[Samuel Enibe]

Dear Ekin,

Thanks for the help. I downloaded the binary tar file from the SCILAB
website, placed it in a directory, and applied the following commands:

tar xzvf scilab-6.0.1.bin.linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd scilab-6.0.1
bin/scilab    OR ./bin/scilab

and it worked. However, I can only run it from the installation directory.

HOW SHOULD I MAKE IT GLOBALLY VISIBLE SO THAT I CAN RUN IT FROM ANY
DIRECTORY?
