I would like to add Octave in my PATH environment variable. Is there a lineguide like the following?

  • Impossible to tell, what you're looking for. The title talks about *"Ocatave"*, while the text asks about *"Octave"*. I don't know what a *"lineguide"* is either, or which part of the java.com-link is not sufficient for your purposes. There's also no hint about what tools you would like to use, what programming language a solution should be in, and so on. – IInspectable Dec 11 '15 at 17:30

Suppose you installed Octave in a folder myOctave, and the path to it is myPath which may be something like C:\Program Files\. Then, you could launch the cmd of your windows, and type the following

set PATH=%PATH%;myPath\myOctave\bin

Here is a detailed example based on my own Octave path and directory. My Octave is installed here E:\Programs\Octave\Octave-4.0.0, and thus under the cmd window, I run

set PATH=%PATH%;E:\Programs\Octave\Octave-4.0.0\bin

Then you are all set.

if you run open Command promt and type octave --gui ( it will open Graphical interface) else if you just type octave (it will open command interface).

Just type addpath('requiredPath') in the Octave command prompt.
