回答1:

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).
