Python functions seamlessly in Jupyter Notebook, while Scilab encounters an issue. The evaluation process appears to be perpetually ongoing, as indicated by the persistent black circle cursor. No error messages are displayed in the Windows 10 x64 command window.
I followed the installation instructions meticulously through the command line. Interestingly, my colleague is not experiencing any problems, while I am unable to execute cell evaluations in Jupyter using the Scilab kernel.
I’m hopeful that someone can provide assistance in resolving this matter.
Here is the sequence of steps I undertook for installation:
Installed Scilab using scilab-2023.1.0.bin.x64.exe
Installed Python using python-installer.exe
Installed Jupyter using “pip install jupyter”
Installed the Scilab kernel for Jupyter using “pip install scilab_kernel”
Set the SCILAB_EXECUTABLE using “setx SCILAB_EXECUTABLE WScilex-cli.exe”
Appended the Scilab binary directory to the PATH using the following commands:
“setx PATH %PATH%;%PROGRAMFILES%\scilab-2023.1.0\bin”
“setx PATH %PATH%;SCILAB_EXECUTABLE”
Troubleshooting steps undertaken:
Checked the Scilab kernel using “python -m scilab_kernel.check”
Verified the list of installed kernels using “jupyter kernelspec list”
