Hello Javier, Thanks for your feedback.
A few remarks about what you suggests: - Why do you suggest a torrent? Any issue with official download links? - Before Scilab 5.0.0, GUIs where not based on Java that is why JVM was not needed neither embedded in binary versions. So can you tell more about your request? - MKL based libraries are embedded in the setup (and used by default) and no more downloaded at installation time so no issue here. As MKL implementation gives better performances, why removing it? In any case do not hesitate to open issues for problem/ideas (https://gitlab.com/scilab/scilab/-/issues). Best regards, Vincent From: dev <dev-boun...@lists.scilab.org> On Behalf Of javier ignacio carrero mantilla Sent: Monday, March 13, 2023 3:26 PM To: List dedicated to the development of Scilab <dev@lists.scilab.org> Subject: [Scilab-Dev] install suggestions This are following suggestions / requests for the installation of Scilab for windows after version 2023.0.0. They may also apply to the MacOS and Linux versions * Create a torrent for the installer file. * Make Scilab available in the Microsoft Store (and in the Apple Store) * Eliminate the Java requirement. It is absurd to install a Java machine just for Scilab to run. In the versions previous to 5.0 Java was not present, the installer was only about 30MB, and Scilab ran smoothly. * Eliminate the Intel math kernel option. It is unnecessary and complicates the installation process with an additional download. * Make Scilab english-only (no more translation options). We appreciate the effort, but the help comes in English. In other words, an English-only Scilab is preferable to a half-translated Scilab. * Eliminate the "console" and "advanced console" icons (launchers) in the windows menu. These options confuse the user and should be available only by invoking the specific command in the terminal. * Eliminate the "uninstall Scilab" icon in the windows menu. It makes easy an accidental uninstall, and it is redundant, as the uninstall option is in the respective control panel section.
