==Calling Octave executables== | |||
Some environment variables have to be set to correctly run Octave executables. So, a user should not call any of the executables directly unless the necessary environment variables have been set up manually. | |||
Instead, the {{Path|octave.vbs}} script in Octave's root installation folder or the {{Path|octave.bat}} script in the bin directory should be used. Both scripts support starting the GUI (command line argument {{Path|--gui}}) or running Octave in CLI mode (command line argument {{Path|--no-gui}}). The .vbs script opens the GUI by default. The .bat script starts Octave in CLI mode by default. | |||
The .vbs script returns immediately when Octave has started. The .bat script returns when Octave finishes execution. | |||
Alternatively, Octave can be started using the msys2 shell that can be started with {{Path|cmdshell.bat}} in Octave's root installation folder. | |||
