Add tclab to forge repository?

[John Hedengren]

I'm working on an Octave package for teaching programming and control called tclab. We have a similar package on pypi for Python: https://pypi.org/project/tclab/ available with pip install tclab.  Here is more information on the community initiative: https://apmonitor.com/heat.htm

What are the qualifications for adding a new package to forge? I'd like to make it available with:

pkg install -forge tclab

The web-site recommended that I join this group and start a discussion on adding it. It looks like many of the other packages are substantial toolboxes and this is only a small .m script to facilitate the Arduino lab connection - I'm not sure if it belongs.

Best regards,

Yes,

 

pkg install -forge tclab

 

is exactly what we need. John Eaton or Chris can help with it I'm sure.

 

I am fully supportive of this kind of development. Let me know if/how I  can help.

Jim,

 

I created a new Octave/Matlab tclab class to help with connecting and accessing the functions. I’m also creating Jupyter notebooks that run Octave as tutorials for the lab (see attached, in development).

 

I’d like to create a new forge package to assist with installing this package with something like “”. Should I reach out to John Eaton?

 

pkg install -forge tclab
