%On linux put this file in your /home/user directory
%On Windows put this in your C:\Users\User\Documents\MATLAB
%On Mac put this in /home/user directory
%For Octave you need to navigate to the following directory
%C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.0\share\octave\site\m\startup
%Then you need to edit the octaverc file and add the startup file
%To that octaverc file. You can either copy and past the entire
%thing in there or just copy this file to that directory
%If you're on linux you need to find the root directory 
%of octave. It shouldn't be that hard (try '$ which octave')
%In octave make sure to name this file mystartup.m since startup.m
%apparently shadows another built-in function. 
%In linux the octave root directory is
%/usr/share/octave/site/m/startup/
%What you want to do is add a line of code called 
%mystartup to the file octaverc
%then make a symbolic link
%ln -s /home/carlos/Dropbox/BlackBox/startup.m /usr/share/octave/site/m/startup/mystartup.m
