You will need to create a copy of many of the Octave files. I suggest a directory specifically for this. Additionally, place your distributable executable in this directory. You will now need to find out what other files will be necessary to run your. That is, what he is doing is copying the octave files in the octave directory to a folder where the main executable of his standalone application would be.
And Octave is large: a Windows Octave installation is multible GB on disk; bundling a separate Octave runtime in your application would make it similarly large. Though I could certainly see a case for a tool that bundled up Octave programs in a way that made them easier to run from the Windows graphical shell or a command line and so they could discover the required Octave installation s easily, and maybe pop up a prompt telling the user to install Octave if one was not found.
Hi apjanke, Though I understand your points there are still some reasons that could invite Octave to consider an evolution in the sense mentioned by AlbiRomb. In the end, if the tool could be a simple. I may be wrong in my points of view as it might be too personal but, in my opinion, they would be a reason to continue with octave instead of migrate, for example, to python. It should be easy enough to write a. This is no different from giving them a shell script that calls a Python script.
They still have to have the Python interpreter installed. There is no speed benefit to bundling a standalone Octave interpreter with m-files. It is recommended that any such packages be uninstalled and reinstalled to guarantee compatibility with the current version of octave.
If Octave was installed from a zip or 7z archive and you did not run the post-install. In that case you need to run:. That will force octave to look for both local and global packages in the set locations to repopulate the list of available packages. Note that 'local' packages always take precedence if the same package is present in both locations.
Note : The Windows bundle includes a minimal version of Python for the symbolic package. That version of Python is not intended to be used for anything else. If you like to use Python for something different in Octave e. To install a new or updated package version manually, the package file can be downloaded from the Octave Forge website to the working directory and can be installed using:.
Note that all of the commands above will perform local or global package installs according to the user's Administrator access level. This behavior can be changed by calling the install command with the -global option. For example:. To install a global package to the latest version requires write-access to the global-list location you can use:. Note also that the update command does not take -local or -global options, and always performs an update according to the user's Administrator access level.
As such if Octave was installed from a zip or 7z archive in a non-privileged account, 'pkg update' cannot be used to update global packages, they must be updated manually using 'pkg install'. Some environment variables have to be set to correctly run Octave executables.
So, a user should not call any of the executables directly unless the necessary environment variables have been set up manually. Octave- How to automatically execute commands on startup Ask Question.
