I have tried to use Octave through Jupyter(Anaconda)(NOT USING PIP) but it's not working. initially I was able to install octave using conda(fig 1showing octave in juoyter, but was keep getting getting the error "Octave-cli" not found.

so I tried to set a path in the environment(fig2) trying to set environment variable

but still the octave doesn't run Kernal. its keep giving me the error " raise OSError('OCTAVE_EXECUTABLE does not point to an octave-cli file, please see README')"

i am very new to coding. so not very good at locating problem. Any detailed help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

I had the same problem.

You have to set an environmental variable that points to the executable, like this:

conda env config vars set OCTAVE_EXECUTABLE=/your path goes here/octave-cli

Then you have to re-activate the conda environment:

conda activate NameOfEnvironment

Verify that it worked:

conda env config vars list

That's how you do it. More info here: https://github.com/Calysto/octave_kernel

I did all that, but I still can't get Octave to work in Jupyter Notebook or Jupyter Lab...
