How to setup VLFEAT on Octave?

Question

The instructions on the official website aren't clear. Does anyone know how to setup VLFEAT on Octave(Windows)?

Answer 1

I could use vlfeat in Octave (on Windows 7) with the following procedure:

1) Download the vlfeat binaries from the website.

2) Copy the "toolbox" subfolder somewhere, say "D:\".

3) Rename it to "D:\vlfeat_octave"

4) Run Octave, and run addpath(genpath("D:\vlfeat_octave")) and then savepath

5) Quit Octave and start again.

Then I could use vlfeat without any issues.
