View source for Octave for Microsoft Windows

:''This article is about using pre-built installers of Octave for Windows; for instructions about building it, see [[Windows Installer]].''

{{Note|Windows installers are available for the latest version of '''Octave ({{Release}}, released on {{Release Date}})''' from https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/octave/windows/.}}

Users are encouraged to use the latest version unless a specific feature or requirement that warrants using an older version of the software. Version specific instructions and installation notes are provided below.

:'''Note:''' As of version 8.3.0, '''The Octave project no longer distributes binaries for 32-bit versions of Windows'''. An alternative source for 32-bit Windows binaries of Octave is using [[Octave for Microsoft Windows#GNU Octave in MSYS2|MSYS2]].   

:'''Note:''' As of version 4.4.1, '''Octave no longer supports Windows XP'''. There may be some workarounds to get Octave installed and running in command line mode (see Bug {{bug|54662}}), but maintainers cannot provide support and troubleshooting for this beyond what has already been documented.
