The Octave Wiki has instructions for installing Octave on macOS systems. Octave is also available in third-party package managers such as Homebrew and MacPorts. Executable versions of Octave for BSD systems are provided by the individual distributions. Both FreeBSD and OpenBSD have Octave packages. These packages are created by volunteers. Octave Shifter 2 is optimized to run anywhere: from the latest version of macOS running on multicore 64-bit Intel processors all the way down to Mac OS X Tiger.
