==Installing a Mac OS X Bundle== | |||
Good progress has been made on creating a reliable App bundle for Octave on Mac OS X. Approaches using [http://www.macports.org MacPorts] and [http://brew.sh Homebrew] have been considered. A [[Create_a_MacOS_X_App_Bundle_Using_Homebrew|wiki page documenting the Homebrew approach]] is available. A mature beta application bundle is available, and instructions on how to the application bundle is created is available at the link. As the Homebrew approach provides a simpler solution, the [[Create_a_MacOS_X_App_Bundle_Using_MacPorts|Macports approach]] has been abandoned. | |||
