Hello,
I have tried to install all required stuff from scratch on a fresh and non-admin “avuser” user account on a Windows 10 Pro (21H2) machine. Here is what it did, without having to get admin rights at anytime:
- install Scilab 2023.1.0 in default path
- install python for windows (https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.5/python-3.11.5-amd64.exe) and check “add Python to path” during installation
- pip install jupyter (on cmd command line)
- pip install scilab_kernel (on cmd command line)
- Add Scilab
bin
folder to Path user environment variable (on cmd command line)
setx Path "%Path%;C:\Users\avuser\AppData\Local\scilab-2023.1.0\bin"
Note: the SCILAB_EXECUTABLE
environment variable seems useless in the current version of the Scilab kernel.
- logout/login the Windows session.
I was then able to launch a notebook (on cmd command line) with:
python -m notebook
The notebook started with the default Python kernel, I then choosed ‘Scilab’ from the kernel menu, and typed in the first cell
plot
followed by Ctrl + Enter, I obtained the following:
