To compile and create the application bundle yourself, see the instructions on [[Create_a_MacOS_X_App_Bundle_Using_Homebrew|how to create the bundle using Homebrew]]. (See instructions on [[Create_a_MacOS_X_App_Bundle_Using_MacPorts|how to create a bundle using Macports]] for reference, but this approach is not currently being used.)

[http://deepneural.blogspot.fr/p/welcome.html Configuration files] that cause Vagrant to automatically download and configure an Octave 4.0.2 server VM under OS X including 10.10 Yosemite and 10.11 El Capitan. The install process pulls down Octave 4.0.2 from the repository. All software used in running this server VM is open source (Vagrant, VirtualBox, Octave). The Octave GUI and graphics will display seamlessly on the Mac via the Mac's native X-windows server, while the server runs headless.. The recommended configuration ensures that by default user files written by the GUI are in a folder shared with the Mac's filesystem, and the VM suspends automatically when the user quits the GUI. Any edited files then persist in the Mac's shared folder.

This would install octave with the default dependencies. Note that the default dependencies include java runtime environment. If you do not have java installed, homebrew would guide you to do that. Or you can type {{Codeline|brew install octave --without-java}} to remove its dependency on java.

Note: If brew complains about:
<pre>
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/ghostscript/9.14...
Error: Could not symlink share/ghostscript/Resource
/usr/local/share/ghostscript is not writable.
</pre>
This is telling you the user permissions for ghostscript are not setup in a way that your user profile can use. You need to change those permissions to your user profile.
The following command will repair the issue:
<pre>
sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local/share/ghostscript
brew link --overwrite ghostscript
</pre>
Then run the brew install command again for octave.


Note: If brew complains about not having a formula for octave, the following command should fix it:
