In case I'm going about this the wrong way, there are the operations I'd like to have run on startup: So I then used Agent Ransack in the directory, and still nothing came up.ġ) Do I have to make the startup folder and octaverc file myself?Ģ) If so, does one, both or none have to be hidden?ģ) Can it be a txt file, or does it have a special extension?Ĥ) Do I just type the commands straight into the file or is there special formatting? I do see hidden files, which was my first thought since the file begins with '.' character. In that directory I don't have a startup folder, only 'oct' and 'site'. octaverc file should be in the following path: OCTAVE_HOME/lib/octave/VERSION/startup/octaverc I did a bit of searching online at, and saw the. I typed 'help startup' and saw 'Octave uses the file '.octaverc'. I'm new to octave, and want to run a few commands on startup automatically every time it opens.
