Install octave on a Acer spin 13 under chrome linux (crostini)



This gives instructions on how to install the flatpak utility:https://flatpak.org/setup/Chrome%20OS/

sudo flatpak install flathub org.octave.Octave
then run it from the icon located in the chrome app icons

To get the graphics to work correctly, I had to set the graphicspackage to gnuplot by typing into the octave command window:graphics_toolkit('gnuplot');

I edited a file named "startup.m" and added this command in this file.Now everytime octave starts, it runs this graphics toolkit command and sets the graphics to gnuplot
