The [https://launchpad.net/~octave GNU Octave Team] on Launchpad maintains a PPA providing more up to date packages of Octave for all versions of Ubuntu.

To set up your system to install these packages: | ||
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:octave/stable | sudo apt-add-repository ppa:octave/stable | ||
sudo apt-get update | sudo apt-get update | ||
sudo apt-get install octave | sudo apt-get install octave | ||

It is possible to install the current stable version of Octave and any needed dependencies within your home directory, particularly useful if you have an old Linux distribution or do not have root access, using [http://linuxbrew.sh Linuxbrew]: | |||
