==Binary installer for OSX 10.9.1== | |||
A [http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20MacOSX%20Binary/2013-12-30%20binary%20installer%20of%20Octave%203.8.0%20for%20OSX%2010.9.1%20%28beta%29/ binary installer] for Mountain Lion can be found on Octave Forge. | |||
This installer will install all binaries for GNU Octave 3.8.0 itself and its dependencies under | |||
/usr/local/octave/3.8.0 | |||
And will create two entries in the Applications folder | |||
/Applications/Octave-cli.app | |||
/Applications/Octave-gui.app | |||
Which will start Octave in CLI and GUI mode respectively, these are just small wrappers containing a startup script and an icon to allow launching Octave from the Finder. | |||
If you wish to uninstall GNU Octave 3.8.0 and all other software installed by this installer you can simply move the three folders listed above to the Trash. Notice that you will need to authenticate with and administrator password to be allowed to do so. | |||
You may need to override Gatekeeper to allow installation. You may find instructions about how to do this on [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5290 this page] in the section labeled "How to open an app from a unidentified developer and exempt it from Gatekeeper". | |||
In short: | |||
* In Finder, Control-click or right click the icon of the app. | |||
* Select Open from the top of contextual menu that appears. | |||
* Click Open in the dialog box. If prompted, enter an administrator name and password. | |||
