*The variant installed may be important to the user's experience. The available variants for {{Codeline|octave}} are displayed by typing {{Codeline|port variants octave}}. In MacPorts 2.3.4 the variants ''atlas'', ''gcc5'' and ''glgui'' are installed by default (marked with '+' sign in {{Codeline|port variants octave}} output). If you need Java support add the new Java variant (+java). A installed Java JRE is mandatory. Go To the Oracle [https://www.java.com/ Java website] for Download. The following command works fine: {{Codeline|sudo port install octave +qtgui+gui+java+metis}} | *The variant installed may be important to the user's experience.

*If Octave crashes when plotting use the Gnuplot graphic toolkit instead of FLTK. Type {{Codeline|graphics_toolkit('gnuplot')}} in Octave before plotting. For using the nicer wxt-terminal of Gnuplot, type {{Codeline|setenv("GNUTERM","wxt")}} in Octave. To make this the standard behavior append both commands in one of Octave's startup files e.g. your {{Codeline|~/.octaverc}}. To close the graphic window of gnuplot use the Octave command {{Codeline|close()}} to get rid of the Gnuplot instance instead of using the close button of the window. | *If Octave crashes when plotting use the Gnuplot graphic toolkit instead of FLTK.
