Manual installation instructionsCreate an installation directory of which doesn't have space chars (i.e.C:\Octave\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2\). This directory is referred hereafter as.Extract the complete directories tree from Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2_20130408.7zto the installation directory keeping the original directory structure as inthe archive (you can use 7-zip tool from http://www.7-zip.org/).Copy octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2.lnk to any convenient location and edit itsproperties respectively to point to \bin\octave.exe and\doc\octave\icons\octave-logo.ico as an iconNote for windows 8 users: As a workaround for a gnulib windows 8 compatibility bug, keep command the line switches ' -i --line-editing' in the octave.exe shortcut (i.e. \bin\octave.exe -i --line-editing)Copy octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2_docs.lnk to any convenient location and edit itsproperties respectively to point to \doc\octave and\doc\octave\icons\octave-logo.ico as an icon.At this point you can:a. Launch and use octave by double-clicking the copiedoctave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2.lnkb. Access and browse the documentation files by double-clicking the copiedoctave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2_docs.lnk3. Manual installation instructions for the Octave-forge packagesExtract the complete directories tree fromOctave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2_pkgs_20130402.7z to the installation directory() keeping the original directory structure as in thearchive (you can use 7zip tool from http://www.7-zip.org/).In order to update octave_packages database with your installation tree andauto-load most packages (excluding some packages that may not be auto-loaded as default), launch Octave and execute thefollowing 3 rebuild commands from the octave console: pkg rebuild -auto pkg rebuild -noauto ad % may crash octave when loaded and 'clear all' is executed pkg rebuild -noauto nan % shadows many statistics functions pkg rebuild -noauto gsl % shadows some core functions pkg rebuild -auto javaLast pkg rebuild command is required in order for the java pkg entry to bemoved to the top of \share\octave\octave_packages db file- thus java pkg is loaded before io pkg is loaded, and io pkg related jarsare added to java class path.You can optionally adjust your installed packages status per your specificneeds and usage by executing the following commands:a. To interactively load or unload a package pkg load or pkg unload b. To disable auto-load for specific pkg pkg rebuild -noauto c. To enable auto-load for specific pkg pkg rebuild -auto d. To completely uninstall a package pkg uninstall 4. Optional installation of Notepad++ as an editor (recommended)Download recent Notepad++ installation package fromhttp://notepad-plus-plus.org/ and install it on your system.Edit \share\octave\site\m\startup\octaverc and un-commentthe line which sets octave default editor: EDITOR('C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe');or for win64 systems: EDITOR('C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe');Note: You may adjust the above line for the location of notepad++.exe asinstalled on your system.5. TroubleshootingUpon launching, some warnings may be displayed. These warnings can beignored.Following warnings are about missing external tools which may reduce some ofthe functions of some packages. These external tools are not provided by the7z archives in sourceforge. warning: gmsh does not seem to be present some functionalities will bedisabled warning: dx does not seem to be present some functionalities will bedisabledFollowing warning is about fstat function of the statistics package thatoverloads the old (to be deprecated) fstat function of octave-3.6.4 warning: functionC:\Octave\3.6.4_gcc-4.6.2\share\octave\packages\statistics-1.2.0\fstat.mshadows a core library function
