How do I start Octave GUI from zip file install
I downloaded windows 32 zip file version of Octave from here
I do not want to use the installer to fully install Octave and would prefer to use it through the zip file extraction
I can start octave in the command line from
octave-4.4.1-w32octave-4.4.1-w32binoctave.bat
This gives me the octave interpreter in the Windows cmd prompt, but I thought octave had it's own GUI and IDE similar to matlab
How do I start this IDE from the zip file install version of octave? Is the GUI IDE present in the zip file version?

says:
For the zip archives, the user should extract the file content to a
directory on the harddrive (such as C:Octave). Manual shortcuts can
then be created to either theoctave.batoroctave.vbsfiles in the
main installation directory.
Note that starting with Octave 4.4.0, the shortcuts will no longer
start the graphical user interface by default. The user needs to add
--force-gui to any manual shortcuts to start Octave with the GUI. (Right-click on the shortcut, select Properties, and add --force-gui
to the end of the Target field.)
