Launch Octave with GUI

Question

I downloaded octave version 4.2.1 as instructed here http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_macOS, and I am able to run Octave from the terminal. However, I cannot launch Octave using GUI. When I add the command --force-gui, nothing happens.

I have tried brew reinstall octave --with-qt --with-fltk --with-gui , which does not help.

Any ideas?

Thank you

I had the same problem. Tried qt, flk but nothing happens with homebrew.

I do this:

• Remove octave from homebrew : brew uninstall octave
• Installed MacPort (https://guide.macports.org)
• Install octave by macport : sudo port install octave
