The easiest way to install GNU Octave on Microsoft Windows is using [http://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/ MXE] builds. For the current 4.0.0 release installers can be found at [https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/windows/ ftp.gnu.org]. | |||
Known issues specific to windows version 4.0.0. | |||

====Packages==== | |||
Pre-build octave-forge packages are not prepared from octave-3.8 or later for windows. You can install some octave-forge packages using archived sources and build script. However, small flaws exist in current octave-4.0.0_0 distribution. Before install, correct version number of general and signal packages version to 2.0.0 and 1.3.2, respectively and comment out install io package as "#try_install io-2.2.7.tar.gz" in C:\octave\octave-4.0.0\src\build_packages.m". Then execute | |||
>> cd C:\octave\octave-4.0.0\src | |||
>> build_packages | |||
>> pkg install -forge io | |||
Other octave-forge packages may be installed by | |||
>> pkg install -forge (package name) | |||
