I downloaded the Octave app bundle from here. The app is in /Applications. I have been unable to open it from the terminal. I tried the command 'octave' and some other variations from the documentation.
My goal is to be able to run a file /Users/[me]/Documents/OctavePrograms/firstlast.m
in the command line by typing octave firstlast.m
or some variation of it. I would like to understand why I have been unable to run my program.
open -a "Octave" ~/Documents/OctavePrograms/firstlast.m
