Find NetLogo version

Source: R/find_netlogo_version.R
find_netlogo_version.Rd

find_netlogo_version() attempts to determine the NetLogo version installed on the user's system.

Usage

find_netlogo_version(netlogo_home = find_netlogo_home())

Arguments

netlogo_home

(optional) A character string specifying the path to the NetLogo installation directory. If not provided, the function will try to find it automatically using find_netlogo_home() (default: find_netlogo_home()).

Value

A character string specifying the NetLogo version (e.g., "7.0.2"). Returns an empty string ("") if the version cannot be determined.

Details

The function uses the following detection methods in order:

  1. Console execution: If the NetLogo console executable is found, it runs NetLogo_Console --version to retrieve the version information. This is the most reliable method.

  2. Directory name extraction: If the executable is not found, it attempts to extract the version number from the installation directory name (e.g., netlogo-7.0.2 yields "7.0.2").

Note that the directory name fallback may produce slightly different results if the directory was renamed or uses a non-standard naming convention.
