TCL store design utils install

[petersk]

I have a tcl script that I wrote that depends on the designutils library from the TCL Store. When others use it, it obviously crashes when they haven't installed the designutils library.  Is there a way to check if it's installed and install it, OR at least provide an instructive error telling them to install it by detecting whether it's installed or not?

This should work

  # Install 'designutils' to access the package for tables
  catch {
         if {[lsearch [tclapp::list_apps] {xilinx::designutils}] == -1} {
               tclapp::install designutils
         }
  }
