Int4Sci installation

Basic Int4Sci installation

Note that for Windows OS, the Microsft Visual C software is needed if you have downloaded a source version of Int4Sci. If you don't have this software, download the binary version of Int4Sci.

For the first use :

1 Uncompress the provided package : this will create an Int4Sci folder.

2 Go to the Int4Sci folder.

3 Run Scilab.

4 If you have a source version of Int4Sci, type in your Scilab Window :

--> exec builder.sce;

--> exec loader.sce;

4 If you have a binary version of Int4Sci, type in your Scilab Window :

--> exec loader.sce;

Beware ! On Windows OS, this installation can fail if your Int4Sci folder is located in a directory whose name contains the space character (like Documents and Settings) !!

After the first use :

1 Go to your Int4Sci folder.

2 Run Scilab.

3 Type in your Scilab Window :

--> exec loader.sce;

If any problem, contact the technical support with a full report describing exactly the returned error, your Scilab installation and your hardware.

Basic use

To get started with Int4Sci, see the Tutorial.

You can access Int4Sci on line documentation by typing in your Scilab window :

--> apropos interval;

Finally, a set of tests for Int4sci is available by typing in your Scilab window :

--> I4Stest();

How to run Int4Sci from any directory

1 Determine the path of the Int4Sci directory. For example, on Linux, type pwd in your shell to obtain the Int4Sci directory path.

2 Open a Scilab window, and check where is you scilab home directory by just typing :

--> SCIHOME

A path will be returned. Go there.

3 Create a scilab.ini file. If you have already one, just open it.

4 In your .scilab file, just add this few lines :

HERE = pwd();

MAIN_PATH= "The Int4Sci path you just have saved ";

cd(MAIN_PATH);

exec loader.sce;

cd(HERE);

5 It's done !!
