The steps below will result in successful install Octave and Gnuplot. This approach should be avoided on systems with a package manager such as Fink, Macports, or Homebrew installed. These instructions were originally copied form Anthony Sutardja.
- Download the latest OSX binary of Octave. This is everything that you need to download. Gnuplot, as well as AquaTerm, are included within the dmg.
- Mount the image and copy Octave.app to your
/Applications/folder.
- Inside the Octave image, mount the
gnuplot-4.4.3-aqua-i386.dmgwhich is located in the Extras folder and copygnuplot.appinto your/Applications/folder as well.
- In your favorite text editor, open up
/Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplotand replace every instance ofDYLD_LIBRARY_PATHwithDYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH. There should be four matches that need to be replaced. In vim, you can do this with the following command:
:%s/DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH/DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH/g
- Optional: If you want to run Octave from the commandline, you can make an alias to one of the binaries. I would put them somewhere separate from all your other binaries (e.g.
~/bin/). If you choose to do this, you must add/Users/YourAccount/bin/to yourPATH(as well as making the bin folder). To do this, add the linePATH=/Users/YourAccount/bin:$PATHto your.bash_profilelocated in your home directory. Then make the following aliases:
sudo ln -sf /Applications/gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot /Users/YourAccount/bin/gnuplot sudo ln -sf /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave /Users/YourAccount/bin/octave
And that’s it! You can type octave at the command-line of Terminal.app to enter the Octave shell.
