Windows

1. Download ZIP binary distribution from https://github.com/OPM/ResInsight/releases
2. Extract content from ZIP file
3. (OPTIONAL) Launch ResInsight.exe, open Edit->Preferences and define location of Octave, usually 'ResInsightRoot/octave/bin/octave.exe'

Optional - Octave installation

Currently tested and verified version on Windows is Octave 3.6.1.

• Download and install Octave 3.6.1 for VS2010 from release section on GitHub
• Download an additional library file and copy it into Octave lib folder, typically c:/Octave-3.6.1/lib/dirent.lib

We are aware that this procedure is a bit cumbersome, and we are currently investigating improvements on how to install Octave on Windows.

Linux

2. Extract content from TAR file
3. (OPTIONAL) Launch ResInsight, open Edit -> Preferences and define location of Octave in the field Octave, usually 'ResInsightRoot/octave/bin/octave-cli'
