Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade scientificword -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade scientificword -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

Scientific Word Version 6 brings you the ease of entering text and mathematics in natural notation in an easy-to-use word processing system. With its entirely new Mozilla-based architecture, Scientific Word 6 provides more flexibility for your workplace. You can save or export your documents in multiple formats, according to your publication and portability needs. Your documents are saved as xml files which makes them completely portable across platforms. Sharing your work with colleagues is easier than ever.

Because Scientific Word 6 is a front end to LaTeX, you do not have to learn the LaTeX syntax. When you typeset, LaTeX automatically generates footnotes, indexes, bibliographies, tables of contents, and cross-references.

MacKichan Software, Inc. has gone out of business

MacKichan Software, Inc., after providing word processing software for those who speak the language of mathematics for forty years (under several names), closed its doors on June 30, 2021. This marks the end of sales and support for the MacKichan Software products.

We expect to make Scientific Word an open source product eventually.

Trial Version

  • By default, this package will install a limited, trial version of Scientific Word without the ability to save or print.
  • You will need to activate the installation with an email address to make it fully functional. (Click on Help in the menu bar, then choose Activate. Follow the instructions given on the screen.)
  • The 30-day trial serial number to use will be put on the desktop in a text file named "Scientific Word Trial Serial Number.txt".
  • If you reference an existing license (below), this file will NOT be created.

Package Parameters for Licenses

If you already have a license file or RLM license server for Scientific Word, the following package parameters are available to be used with the -params switch to direct the program to a license.:

  • /LicenseFile:<path>
    Set this parameter to have the license file copied to the local install location.
  • /SystemVariable:<port@server|path>
    Set this parameter to have the system environment variable, "mackichn_LICENSE", (which is the first thing checked by the software) set to either:
    • <port@server> the port and server name of a configured license server
    • <path (to license)> the path to a license file or a folder (with multiple license files). It cannot contain the @ symbol.
Examples :

choco install scientificword -params '"/SystemVariable:[email protected]"'
choco install scientificword -params '"/LicenseFile:""\\Server\Share\SciWord\license.lic"""'
(note: the double-double quotes around the path are only needed if it contains spaces)

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
