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]:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install)"
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH"' >>~/.bash_profile
brew install homebrew/science/octave
