I have a problem with loading images and editing scripts in Octave. I think Octave has the wrong path or something. When I say 'edit', it says:
sh: 1: emacs: not found
What does that mean?
I'm pretty new to both Octave and MATLAB, but when I'm at school using MATLAB, for example, writing the command 'edit' works...
How do I know where to put files I want to load in Octave, and how do I change the path?
The problem is not with your path, the problem is that you didn't set up EDITOR (see help EDITOR and the editor option at help edit). As you have no environmental variable for it, it defaults to emacs so when you run edit, it tries to open the file in emacs and fails because you don't have it installed. Set up EDITOR for your text editor of choice at .octaverc file (If I remember correctly, the text editor to use is set as a persistent variable inside edit.m so you'll have to restart octave) or an environmental variable (I'd recommend this one).
It works in matlab because they made their own text editor. Octave is not a text editor, it's a programming language, it would be a waste of time to reinvent the wheel, and you should be able to choose whatever you are comfortable to code with.
