It wasn't my internet connection. WolframKernel 10.3 says "Updating from Wolfram Research server ...", downloads 18.4MB of data, then sits there. So I've gone rogue and removed ~/Library/Mathematica/Paclets, which seems to fix it (but at what later cost I wonder)
@Szabolcs It was a shot in the blue - and I think it is a convenient function in case one would like to install the FEMAddOns; no GitHub, palcet download install etc monkey business.
@Szabolcs, but thanks again, the actual code is in essence what you provided ;-)
And what is more it works for any version of FEMAddOns (meaning it will always get the latest version) and it can be updated should there be a problem with the implementation.
@user21 Just a small note about the code: this one downloads the GitHub release which was created last, whether it's marked as prerelease or not. What I originally used for MaTeX downloads the version considered to be "the latest stable version" by GitHub. I believe this is the last release not marked as a pre-release.
If you never mark anything as a pre-release then it makes no difference.
@j-m-will-be-back-soon are you around on here? I wanted to ask a couple questions about your response here, but don't want to go off-topic for that post.
Hey guys...just a heads-up, but Stephen will be doing a livestream AMA tonight at 8:30pm EDT. Main topic will be the Rule 30 Prize that was announced last week.
