The right way is to select and install all the dependencies as listed in the {{Path|INSTALL.OCTAVE}} file (if it is not in your source tree build it doing <code>make INSTALL.OCTAVE</code>). The following are their package names in Debian repositories (they will have their own dependencies which your package manager will solve automatically). If you are building development versions, you'll require some more packages as listed on {{Path|etc/HACKING.md}} and {{Path|INSTALL}}. Many of them will already be installed on your system. Install the dependencies by typing
The right way is to install all the dependencies listed on the [[Building#Dependencies|Building]] wiki page. For the sake of convenience, some "one liner" to install them are listed below. If a package is not found, please search manually for it on either


sudo apt-get install
* https://packages.debian.org or
* https://packages.ubuntu.com


followed by the package names of the table below.
