Hello Scilab/Jupyter users,
A new version of the Scilab kernel has been released.
macOS
Among other (minor) improvements, under macOS it is not needed anymore to define the SCILAB_EXECUTABLE environment variable, unless you have more than one version of Scilab in the /Applications folder or if you want to use a development version located somewhere else. If you have any doubt you can check which version will be used with the shell command (with the output on my computer)
$ mdfind -onlyin /Applications kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier=org.scilab.modules.jvm.Scilab
/Applications/scilab-2025.0.0.app
/Applications/scilab-2024.1.0.app
The first matching bundle will be selected, however, since the ordering by version number is unreliable, leave only one version in the /Application folder or set SCILAB_EXECUTABLE.
Running Jupyterlab as a service
If you want that the Jupyterlab service is always up and running on your computer, the instructions are here: Running a public Jupyter Server — Jupyter Server documentation. Don’t forget to setup a password if you run Jupyterlab like this (see Running a public Jupyter Server — Jupyter Server documentation).
If you experiment any problem with the Scilab kernel (we already work on some of these) or have any remark or wishes, don’t hesitate to ask.
S.
