I have to read an ODS data file in octave. After some search I knew that I should use the ods library for octave but I don't know how to install it. So how to install ods library for octave using brew on OSX?

  • you need the Octave forge io package. – carandraug Nov 22 '15 at 15:09
  • Homebrew doesn’t provide ods. – bfontaine Nov 23 '15 at 10:09
  • I managed to install the package but it doesn't parse the files well because there are alot of jars missing! Although I added them using the javaaddpath from octave as mentioned in the documentation! – mkmostafa Nov 23 '15 at 11:03
  • to handle ods files, you will need to have libreoffice installed somewhere and as you already found out, configure the javaclasspath. You should read http://wiki.octave.org/IO_package#ODS_support and ask on the Octave help mailing list as otherwise, this question is off-topic here in StackOverflow. – carandraug Nov 23 '15 at 15:54
