How to install program game with scilab successfully?

 

Hello Samantha,

Scilab is mainly used for mathematical computations. It’s like excel for Linux but with a bit of SPSS.  It is rich in data types, integrated graphics and it has a large library. However, it has a poor user-interface and it only supports static libraries.

To install Scilab,

·         Download it from their website

·         Save the file to your desktop and extract by right clicking the saved file. you could also use this syntax if you are using Terminal $HOME/Desktop/ ; tar xzvf scilab-5.1.bin.linux-i686.tar.gz

·         To launch the program, you have two options:

1.   Run this [$SHELL] cd <scilab-path>/scilab-5.3.3

 [$SHELL] ./bin/scilab

2.   Go to  Application>>edit menus>>education>>new item>>type “scilab”>>command “/opt/scilab-version”>>comment “matrix scientific software. A dialog box appears. Copy the scilab.xpm icon to the navigation bar. You can then start scilab under /application/education/scilab.

Termianl Messages :

I tried following Terminal-Command to run that :
