I freshly installed Octave on my Computer and was wondering if I could switch the default workspace from /home/user to, let's say,/home/user/Octave but could not find any advice online... I am using Ubuntu 14.04 if that's of any importance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You can change default Octave environment by creating .octaverc file in your home directory and putting your commands there.

  1. create a .octaverc file in your home directory

    $ touch ~/.octaverc

  2. put your desired command in that file.

    cd ("~/Octave")

or, you can use this one-line command to do the same as above.

$ echo "cd (\"~/Octave\")" > ~/.octaverc
