Help Window using StatET in Eclipse - r

I have been getting into R recently and have been using the StatET plugin for Eclipse. When I search for help, it prints the 'contents' of the help to the console. I am hoping to have the help open up in a new window, similar to what happens when in R itself. I am hoping this is just a setting.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I seem to recall that I had a similar problem when I upgraded R and StatET.
Perhaps adding the following line to "RProfile.site" will help. (note RProfile.site for me is currently located in "C:\Program Files\R-2.11.1\etc")
options(help_type="html")

The help systems return "help provider not available"

I'm using visual studio code to program in R and I have recently had trouble using the ?func and ??func command.
When typing something like ?rnorm, the message Couldn't show help for path: /library/stats/html/Normal.html shows up. The path is there and I'm sure R is in the path environment. This is really boggling me.
When I first installed R it was working absolutely fine in VSC but now it does not work. However the function works in the R shell. When I try to navigate to the R extension and click on "Help Topics by Package" it says help provider not available.
The packages/html files are there, but VSC doesn't want to access them.
Please advise what I can do to solve this.
I solved the same issue by checking my environmental variables. The steps I followed:
I added the bin installation file (C:\R\R-4.1.3\bin in my case, or C:\Program Files\R\R-4.1.3\bin) to the path in my user environmental variables. If you have an admin account, then you have to add the bin folder to the system environmental variables.
Check if you can start a R console from any terminal.
If that is positive, then in the Rpath settings for the R extension in vscode write r, or in the settings.json: "r.rpath.windows":"r"
Restart vscode. Check if the help pages are working.
Hope this helps ! Cheers.
This happened to me as well. I googled and tried different things and this works for me:
You need to provide the Rpath for the system you are using in the settings for the vscode R package. For example, for a windows machine, you need C:\Program Files\R\R-4.1.3\bin\x64\R.exe there if you installed the latest R using the default settings, and similarly for other systems.
Hope it helps!

Argument to path.dirname must be string: juno-julia-run package

I installed JuliaPro on my Windows 10 Desktop. Whenever I open JuliaPro, I see a deprecation warning though I have not coded anything.
Please find the below image, for more details.
Will it be a problem if I disable juno-julia-run package?
I had the same problem, found an answer in discord.
You should write something and save it as .jl file and then restrart Atom.
The problem would have solved by then

Error while loading the Code Generator toolbox in Scilab

I installed Scilab 5.5.2 on Windows 10, and then installed the Scilab Code Generator toolbox.
However, when I start Scilab, the following message appears and I can't use the toolbox. This problem occurs for every toolbox.
Start Scilab Code Generator
Version: 0.9.20190122
Load macros
atomsLoad: An error occurred while loading 'xcos_code_generator-0.9.20190122':
File "C:\Users\光\AppData\Roaming\Scilab\SCILAB~1.2\atoms\x64\XCOS_C~1\09E129~1.201\macros\names" does not exist or read access denied.
(光 is my username.)
I suppose the problem comes from "\Scilab\SCILAB~1.2" in the middle of the file path. In my computer, the only folder in "Scilab" is "scilab-5.5.2", so indeed the software cannot find the file it's looking for.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I need to use the toolbox at work soon, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Note: I'm not using the latest Scilab 6.0.2 because it fails to work on my computer. It closes immediately after I open it.
I solved the problem by myself.
It was my user name "光" that caused the problem. I found people saying that user names in full-width characters such as Japanese sometimes cause problems like this.
The solution is to create another user account with a name in half-width characters and install Scilab in that account. (Just changing the full-width user name doesn't work because it doesn't change the filenames that already exist.)
I couldn't find the solution until today because I was searching for solutions only in the context of Scilab, not in the context of software in general.
I hope this answer helps someone.
I'm not sure why you are using an outdated version of Scilab. The latest version is 6.0.2 on Windows. If the newer version doesn't work properly then that's the problem you need to fix first. To test your Scilab installation you may run it in the terminal. Find the installation folder. For me, it is C:\Program Files\scilab-6.0.2\bin the on cmd go to the path and run Scilex.exe. If not uninstall everything and install it in a proper way. My recommendation is to uninstall the old Scilab you already have. Then:
Install Chocolatey package manager
Open PowerShell as Admin and run choco update all -y, once in a while update your packages this way.
run choco install Scilab -y
then open the Scilab software
run the atomsInstall("xcos_code_generator") in the console
runt the atomsLoad("xcos_code_generator") to make sure your package is installed properly. You should see this as a result:
--> atomsInstall("xcos_code_generator")
Scanning repository http://atoms.scilab.org/6.0 ... Done
ans =
!xcos_code_generator 0.9.201901 user SCIHOME\atoms\x64\xcos_code_generator\0.9.201901 I !
--> atomsLoad("xcos_code_generator");
Start Scilab Code Generator

Error while Using OpenAerostruct and OpenMDAO together

When I run the code given in the document on combined aero and structure I go this error:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'matlib'
Based on the previous answer I had got, I tried to install the updated version of 'matplotlib' , but this has not solved the problem. Any help will greatly help me as I am a FORTRAN era person and a new convert to Python.
It looks like you're trying to use an intel compiled version of python and numpy can't find an necessary underlying library. Something is messed up in your python/numpy install.
This has nothing to do with OpenAeroStruct or OpenMDAO. If you can't fix your install, I suggest trying out the Anaconda python distribution, which should have everything precompiled correctly.
I don't have enough rep to comment, but please view this answer as a comment and I'll edit it once I can answer more properly.
That sounds like a numpy installation issue. Could you please post the entire error trace that you get when you try running the command?
Additionally, what system are you on (Windows, Mac, Linux), how did you install Python, and have you tried any other Python-based code that you can get to work successfully?
Edit: the most recent version of OpenAeroStruct has been modified to avoid this issue altogether.
