1. Introduction to Octave
Octave is a programming language designed to solve linear and nonlinear numerical computing problems. Octave is an open source software under the GNU project. The early version uses command line interaction mode, and version 4.0.0 releases a GUI interface based on QT. The Octave syntax is very close to the Matlab syntax, and it is easy to port the Matlab program to Octave. At the same time, it is more convenient to interface with C++, QT, etc. than Matlab.
Octave is a scientific computing software designed to provide open source scientific computing and numerical analysis tools compatible with Matlab syntax; it is also a member of the GNU project.
Octave was originally designed with MATLAB as a template, and has many similarities with MATLAB in function. But compared to MATLAB, Octave occupies less memory space. More importantly, Octave is an open source project. For users who need numerical analysis and other operations but are unwilling to spend a lot of money to buy MATLAB, Octave is a Very good choice.
Two, download
1. The installation packages of each version of Octave can be downloaded from the GNU Octave website . The following takes the Windows 10 system as an example to show you the installation process of Octave-6.1.0 version. Select the .exe file to download as shown in the figure. (I installed the latest version)
3. Installation
1. Click the downloaded exe file and follow the corresponding prompts to install: (next)

2. Change the installation address and click Install
3. Installing: wait quietly for the progress bar, and the installation will be successful in about 5 minutes
4. After the installation is successful, two shortcuts will be displayed on the desktop, one is in GUI mode and the other is in command line mode. Then you can use it normally~~~
