Scilab is an open source, cross-platform numerical computational
|
|
package and a high-level, numerically oriented programming language.
|
|
It can be used for signal processing, statistical analysis, image
|
|
enhancement, fluid dynamics simulations, numerical optimization, and
|
|
modeling and simulation of explicit and implicit dynamical systems.
|
|
MATLAB code, which is similar in syntax, can be converted to Scilab.
|
|
Scilab is one of several open source alternatives to MATLAB.
|
|
|
|
After installing/upgrading, it is a good idea to logout/login again
|
|
to run the updated profile scripts.
|
|
|
|
If you have issues on upgrading/reinstalling or changing desktop
|
|
environments, try delete/rename $HOME/.Scilab to resolve.
|
|
|
|
zulu-openjdk8, openjdk8 or jdk are optional. Scilab will use the
|
|
system-wide installed java if found. Otherwise, scilab will use
|
|
its own internal jre.
