• provides some precompiled Toolboxes for Linux 64bit only

How to use it?

Setup

• atomsRepositoryList() will return a list of available repositories
• atomsRepositoryAdd('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rdbyk/bosons/master') will add the Bosons to the list of available repositories

(Hint: In case of ATOMS related problems, make sure that your that your Edit | Preferences | Web | Proxy settings are correct.)

Contents (in alphabetical order)

• SYMSCI - Symbolic Math Toolbox for Scilab (Version 0.5)

  The SYMSCI Toolbox provides (currently) very basic capabilities for symbolic arithmetic and differentiation, and arbitrary precision floating point calculations (cf. Help Pages)

  Under the hood works the MIT/BSD licensed C++ libary SymEngine. SymEngine itself needs the following LGPL licensed GNU libraries: GMP, MPFR, and MPC.

  1. You have to install these shared libraries a priori to the installation of the SYMSCI Toolbox itself, e.g. via

     sudo apt-get install libgmp10 libmpfr4 libmpc3

     under Ubuntu.

  2. Followed by atomsInstall("symsci") under Balisc/Scilab 6.x, which downloads and installs SYMSCI Toolbox from the Bosons repository.
