[Scilab-users] how to get scilab running on mac mini

[Stéphane Mottelet]

Hi,

The problem is in the path of your User directory (Spaces and 
parentheses). The download script is unfortunately broken by this. It 
can be circumvented by the following :

1-dowload the 30/08/2021 macOS version
2-manually download and install the Jvm from :

https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk8-binaries/releases/download/jdk8u275-b01/OpenJDK8U-jre_x64_mac_hotspot_8u275b01.pkg

I cannot ensure that you will have no other problems with your 
particular User directory path, so please report any further problem.

S.
