Getting started

Introduction

This page teaches how to get started with ATOMS module manager on the scilab platform towards a session example. It describes how one can install a module and load it in Scilab environment.

Atoms

• Configure ATOMS to display extra-information:

  -->atomsSetConfig('Verbose','True');

• List available modules

  -->atomsList();
  
  ampl_toolbox - An interface to load .nl files created by AMPL
  ANN_Toolbox - ANN Toolbox
  conmin - A Scilab interface to the conmin optimization method
  CUTEr - Testing environment for optimization and linear algebra solvers
  dace_scilab - This is a conversion of the well known DACE kriging toolbox for Matlab.
  dde_toolbox - Dynamic Data Exchange client for Scilab
  HYDROGRv50 - Models and function for operational hydrology
  lolimot - A fast neural network - LOcal LInear MOdel Tree
  module_lycee - Scilab pour les lycées
  NISP - Non Intrusive Spectral Projection
  plotlib - "Matlab-like" Plotting library for Scilab
  scilab2c - Translate Scilab code into C code
  scipad - Scipad 7.20
  simplex - This package contains the simplex optimization method
  sndfile_toolbox - Read & write sound files
  stixbox - Statistics toolbox for Scilab 5.2
                              

• Install a module, download it and extract it. The module is installed but it's not loaded in the scilab environment and its functionalities are not available yet.

  -->atomsInstall('NISP');
  
  NISP (2.1) will be installed in the 'allusers' section
  Installing NISP (2.1) ... success
                              

• Load a module.

  By default, a module is added to the list of modules to load at Scilab start when it's installed.

  -->atomsLoad('NISP');
  
  Start NISP Toolbox
  Load gateways
  Load help
  Load demos
                                  

• Remove a module:

  -->atomsRemove NISP
  
  NISP (2.1) will be removed from the 'allusers' section
  the package NISP (2.1) is currently loaded, It will removed at next Scilab restart
