* Description
This layer activates [[info:octave-mode][octave-mode]] for files with =.m=
extensions and configures spacemacs-style key bindings.

* Install
Make sure that [[https://gnu.org/software/octave/][GNU Octave]] is installed and
in your PATH. For information about setting up $PATH, check out the
corresponding section in the FAQ (=SPC h SPC $PATH RET=).

To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =octave= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
