Sep 26, 2016 at 18:12 comment added David E Speyer One more correction: The unit group of $\mathcal{O}_F$ will embed into $\mathcal{O}^{\ast}$ so, unless $F = \mathbb{Q}$, this will always be infinite. You might have wanted to compute $\mathcal{O}^{\ast}/\mathcal{O}^{\ast}_F$? That's what the Magma command Ben Linowitz lists does.
Sep 26, 2016 at 16:04 comment added Henri Johnston In the case that $\mathcal{O}$ is a maximal order, there's a brief discussion of this problem in section 4.5 of arxiv.org/abs/1006.4381
Sep 26, 2016 at 15:55 comment added user1073 Actually, the condition that you need to impose is that $B$ be a definite quaternion algebra (i.e., ramified at all infinite places of $F$). Otherwise the subgroup $\mathcal O^1$ of the unit group which consists of elements with reduced norm $1$ will embed into a product of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb R)$'s and $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb C)$'s as a cocompact discrete arithmetic subgroup with finite covolume. In the case that $\mathcal O$ is a definite quaternion order, $\mathcal O^*$ will be finite and can be computed by Magma: math.lsu.edu/doc/magma/html/text1025.htm
Sep 26, 2016 at 14:53 comment added SashaP @Ben Linowitz sure, I changed unramified to ramified, thank you!

Sep 26, 2016 at 13:52 comment added user1073 Am I missing something? If $F=\mathbb Q$ and $R=M_2(\mathbb Q)$ then $\mathcal O=M_2(\mathbb Z)$ is an order whose group of units is infinite.
