Octave installation issues about sedumi HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for your report. Could you answer a few questions to help you:

1. How did you install Octave on your MacBook?
2. Where did you download the SeDuMi archive to? In the screenshot I see you are working in the /Users directory. Can you switch to something like /Users/Sarita/Downloads to the extracted sedumi-1.3.5.zip or sedumi-1.3.5.tar.gz file?

Thank you so much for getting back to me.
I downloaded it from the Octave app once and also tried the one from Octave wiki.
I tried to change the users but it doesn't work. Could you please write to me on my email so I can get more details I really need Octave for my assignment.

For me it is difficult to give more help, as the description of the problem and the performed steps is very vague. I prefer the conversation here, so other users with the same problem might benefit from it.

Can you explain a little more precise what "I tried to change the users but it doesn't work." means.

Your Octave GUI should look something like this:

Do you see the extracted SeDuMi folder inside the "File Browser" on the left? You can navigate inside your file system with the Octave "File Browser" like in the macOS Finder.

I searched SeDuMi in my Finder I Cannot find such a file. Now I uninstalled Octave because it doesn't look like anything in the pic you shared. Could you please share with me the steps to install it again, I am afraid I have done something wrong, as my Octave looks totally different, Thank you.

To install and run Octave on macOS, I recommend using Homebrew:

1. Follow in the Terminal application the steps from "Install Homebrew" in https://brew.sh/
2. In the Terminal type: brew install octave (this might take a while)
3. In the Terminal type: octave --gui

Finally from the Octave "command window" run:

cd ("~/Downloads");
urlwrite ("https://github.com/sqlp/sedumi/archive/refs/tags/v1.3.5.tar.gz", ...
          "sedumi-1.3.5.tar.gz");
gunzip ("sedumi-1.3.5.tar.gz");
cd ("sedumi-1.3.5");
install_sedumi -rebuild;
test_sedumi ();
