Installing Octave on a mac should be a breeze since is there a nice bundle that's easily downloaded and contains everything that you will need . But there's a lot of new users that run into problems, and for good reason. If you are a mac user and are suddenly faced with installing stuff that requires you to delve into the bowels of your computer for the first time (or even the second or third) - it can be mighty intimidating and success can be illusive. This writer knows first hand.

I hope so, because the things they contribute certainly help me out a lot. | Installing Octave on a mac should be a breeze since is there a nice bundle that's easily downloaded and contains everything that you will need .
