Install gnuplot with required terminals e.g.Check what terminals are available (optional) with sudo port variant gnuplot.Install MacPorts by picking a suitable package on their installation page. Thankfully MacPorts still supports a robust full gnuplot installation which makes me change my recommendation from ‘always install Homebrew’ to ‘always install both Homebrew and MacPorts’. This makes this a little inconvenient, not to mention useless. Update, 6 December 2019 Since this article was written about five years ago Homebrew has changed its gnuplot installation system and does not allow picking terminals. At a time when installing games take a two clicks, it simply is not straightforward to install gnuplot.Īfter scratching my head over it for two days straight, I finally installed gcc, gnuplot, Octave and LaTeX on my new Mac (OS X 10.10.3, Yosemite) and decided to note some points/instructions down here for anyone else looking for a simple solution from start to finish contained in one place. However, it turns out that installing gnuplot (or Octave, for that matter - but let us leave that for another day) on a Mac is a pain in the neck. Hardly anyone has gone through a college mathematics or physics course without meeting the wonderful gnuplot.
