Hi,

Sorry, my last message was a bit misleading.
I have absolutely no idea on how you can improve your situation and solve your problem. When I said "there's room for improvement", it was a message for the developers of the atoms system, not a list of things you should try to solve your problem.

Sorry again,

Antoine

Hello Antoine,

How does one get a "cached" version of the repository list and where
is it placed?

-->atomsRepositoryList()
  ans  =

!http://atoms.scilab.org/5.5  official  !

-->atomsVersion()
  ans  =

  5.5

Is there an option to disable fetching when installing locally,
presumably after one has cached module list.

Thanks

Hello,

Tried setting the proxy with the settings our IT guy gave in the
Scilab preferences and it still failed, basically thinking it could
not access the Internet (which is incorrect)!

Trying the manual install again (downloaded a toolbox zip file) it
looks like it still needs access!

-->atomsInstall('scinetcdf_1.1.bin.x64.windows.zip')

!
           !

Confused to say the least the errors vary between the different archives.

I thought that atomsInstall could be used to install a module
downloaded without having access to the Internet.

Well, there is something weird in the way the atoms system is working.
Whenever you install a package, it first fetches the list of all available
packages (which takes a while).
I just ran a test by
I didn't find a way to turn it off.
It's particularly annoying because it re-fetched everything even if the list
was updated seconds ago during a previous install.
When you install sequentially 5 local packages, it's really infuriating!
There's room for improvement:

- By default, turn off fetching when installing a local package,
- Cache locally the list and avoid refetching if there is no change or if it
was updated XX minutes ago.
- Speed-up the process of updating the list: on my computer it takes 3
minutes!

Hi Lester,

If you are under proxy, follow the below instructions.

Configure the network proxy


atomsSetConfig("Verbose","True")
atomsSetConfig("useProxy","True")
atomsSetConfig("proxyHost","myProxyHost")
atomsSetConfig("proxyPort","myProxyPort")
atomsSetConfig("proxyUser","myUserName")
atomsSetConfig("proxyPassword","myPassword")


Read the more documentation below:

Reagrds,

I assume that the following error from atomsGui is due to no direct
port access to the Internet? The webpage links from Scilab work fine.

Somewhat at a loss as to how to proceed. Do I need to get the IT guys
to open a port/proxy access ?

Works fine when I do things from home.

Cheers

Just installed v5.5.2 and get the same issue when trying to install a
module manually, error 21 at line 170 of atomsInstall

Scilab is installed in Program Files on Windows, and so I am guessing
that it might be a permissions issue for a work machine?

Hello,

I currently have v5.4.1 of Scilab, and have to install modules
manually.

I am trying to install apifun (as quite a few modules use it), but get
this error

-->atomsInstall('c:\ss20-work\scilab\apifun_0.4.2-3.bin.zip')
   !--error 21
Invalid index.
at line     170 of function atomsInstall called by :
atomsInstall('c:\ss20-work\scilab\apifun_0.4.2-3.bin.zip')

Checked the code for atomsInstall:

eb_ki.Callback = "updateedit_ki";  Line 170

Any ideas how to resolve this? Will have to follow the same procedure
for v5.5.2 when I update.

Thanks
Lester
