How to install MSS for GNU Octave

The m-files of the MSS (Marine Systems Simulator) toolbox are compatible with MATLAB and the free software GNU Octave (https://www.octave.org), facilitating broad accessibility and application in marine systems simulation. To begin using the MSS toolbox, ensure it is installed and properly set up in your GNU Octave environment.

Download the MSS Directory:

  1. Download ZIP
  2. Unzip the file to a desired location on your computer and name the directory MSS.

Download and Install GNU Octave:

  1. Download and install GNU Octave from https://octave.org/download.

  2. Edit the start-up file (https://docs.octave.org/latest/Startup-Files.html) to include

    graphics_toolkit("qt");

    The function call 'graphics_toolkit ("qt")' selects the Qt/OpenGL system.

  3. Start GNU Octave from the terminal using 'octave --gui'. Type

    >> graphics_toolkit
ans = qt

    to verify that you are using QT.

  4. Select "Edit - Set path - Add directory with subdirectories" and navigate to the unzipped MSS directory. Select "Open - Save - Close".

  5. To get started and find help on using the MSS, type the following command in the command window:
