I installed Octave (6.4.0) using Homebrew. When I type "octave" in the Terminal, it shows in the title of Terminal window that it is "octave-gui" but no GUI shows up. It also opens an "octave-gui" app in dock, but when I clicked on it, nothing happens. Is it a bug or something else?

When I tried "octave-cli" and "octave-gui" separately, it works normally. May I ask if there is a way when I type "octave" in the terminal, it opens octave-cli as default?

You can set up an alias for octave, such that typing octave actually runs octave-cli. On macOS, this is done by editing the bashrc or bashprofile to include the line alias octave="octave-cli".
