Toolbox Check for universal script

General usage
1

Hello S.,

I am writing to seek your assistance with a script I’m developing, named “main.sci,” which is intended to be universally compatible across different PCs. A key feature of this script is its ability to check for the presence of specific toolboxes. If a required toolbox is not installed, the script will prompt the user to install it. However, I’m encountering a challenge in detecting the SampleStat Toolbox using the getmodules() command.

Could you advise if there’s an alternative command I should use for this purpose?

Here’s the relevant portion of the script:

// This script checks if the Scilab module named 'module_name' is installed.
// It returns %t if installed, or %f if not.

withStat = with_module("ST_2019");
if withStat == %t then
   disp("SampleStat module enabled");
else
   disp("SampleStat module disabled");
   atomsInstall('ST_2019')
end
res = getmodules()

I appreciate your guidance on this matter.

Best regards.

Hello,

maybe atomsIsInstalled (atomsIsInstalled - Determines whether the module is installed. Returns true if the module is installed, false otherwise.) is better suited.

This will return the Scilab library names, not the toolboxes names. Use atomsIsInstalled("ST_2019") for toolboxes code.
