[Scilab-users] How to Install SCILAB 5.5.2 on Ubuntu 18.04

[Samuel Enibe]

I have installed SCILAB 6.0.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 but it is experiencing so
many problems. One of these is the inability to Install modules from ATOMS.

To circumvent this problem, I downloaded the binary version of 5.5.2 and
installed it using the instructions on SCILAB wiki. Unfortunately, the
installation does not work at all.

Is there another way of doing the installation of 5.5.2?

Thank you very much.

God bless you.

Each time there is a major upgrade the first versions scilab-*.0.* have
always been bugged and waited toolboxes upgrade for a long time. It's
probably normal for a major upgrade and we have to wait for scilab-6.1.0
release to get something more stable.

On the contrary to other major upgrades that's the first time I face the
impossibility to downgrade to older version of scilab. It's a big
problem for me too.

the only way I found is to install the windows binaries on linux with wine :

wine scilab-5.5.2_x64.exe

and then launch scilab with the command line :

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/scilab-5.5.2/bin/WScilex.exe

It looks to work until you don't need to increase stacksize.

Best regards,

Philippe
