    Hi Reinaldo,<br>
    <br>
    you should make something like:<br>
    sudo ln -s /home/rei/scilab/scilab-5.3.3/bin/scilab
    /usr/local/bin/scilab<br>
    <br>
    and now you just have to type:<br>
    scilab<br>
    <br>
    Regards,<br>
    <br>

And then it unzipped scilab package ... ok !

So, how can I execute it ? Scilab icon does not appear at "Application menu" (dash folder).

Tnx.

                Hi, <br>
                <br>
                Concerning installation process, you can find all needed
                informations there :<br>
                <a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
                  href="http://wiki.scilab.org/howto/install/linux">http://wiki.scilab.org/howto/install/linux</a><br>
                <br>
                The "recommended" directory depend on what kind of
                installation you want to perform, for which user aso ...<br>
                So try it from a local path as explained in the wiki
                page.<br>
