 ====Simple Installation Instructions====
-*Install XCode: This is done via the MacOS X App Store.  For MacOS 10.8, it is necessary to run Xcode and install the command-line tools via its Xcode's Preferences. (For 10.8.3, the command line tools can be independently downloaded, and there does not appear to be a need to download the full xcode. the CLI is about 113 megs, he entire xcode is about 1.6 gigs, as of april 2013)

 *Follow [http://www.finkproject.org/download/srcdist.php Fink's installation instructions]. For those who prefer it, there is a GUI available for Fink, [http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net Fink Commander].
 *Fink has excellent support for Octave and includes recent as well as dated versions. A list of what Fink has available for Octave is [http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/browse.php?summary=octave here]. To install the latest Octave, type {{Codeline|<nowiki>sudo fink install octave</nowiki>}} at the Terminal's command line.  For those running the 64 bit version of Fink, it is recommended that {{Codeline|octave-atlas}} be installed instead as there are some bugs/features with Apple's vecLib for the X86_64 architecture.  Octave has many dependencies which will be downloaded and installed prior to Octave. The entire installation process can take a few hours.
