Description

Usage

findSimplaceInstallations(
  directories = c(),
  tryStandardDirs = TRUE,
  firstMatchOnly = FALSE,
  simulationsDir = "simplace_run",
  ignoreSimulationsDir = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

simulationsDir

directory that contains user simulations (e.g. simplace_run)

ignoreSimulationsDir

don't check for the simulation dir

verbose

prints messages if no or more than one installation found

Details

Beside the checks for some standard directories (like home directory, current working dir and drives c: to g:) and their subdirectories (workspace, simplace, java/simplace) the user can give a vector of additional directories.

Value

matching directory/ies as character vector
