Checks directories if they contain simplace_core, simplace_modules and optionally simplace_run (or a data directory given by the user) and returns the first match. There is no check whether the installation is really working.
findFirstSimplaceInstallation(
directories = c(),
tryStandardDirs = TRUE,
simulationsDir = "simplace_run",
ignoreSimulationsDir = FALSE
)
matching directory/ies as character vector
a list of additional directories where to look -
whether to check for typical installation directories (default)
directory that contains user simulations (e.g. simplace_run)
don't check for the simulation dir
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. Directories given by the user are checked first.
