If you face any errors during installation, please post the error here under ‘Scilab Toolbox-> Optimization Toolbox’ category- http://forums.fossee.in/
There will be a help desk at the workshop venue to help anyone who encounters errors while installing the toolbox. Participants are expected to approach the help desk only after trying to install the toolbox on their own. As we expect a high number of participants at this workshop, it will not be possible for us to install the toolbox for each and every participant. Participants are also advised to come early so that the help desk has enough time to resolve the errors.Please note: Registered participants will be allowed to participate in the workshop only if they bring their own laptop and have the correct version of Scilab and the toolbox installed on their laptop. This will be strictly enforced.
