If you're running FreeBSD you have two options: you can build from source (via ports) or get the precompiled package: | |||
*Using ports: | |||
Make sure you have your port tree updated. Check FreeBSD documentation about how to do that. Then, as root, type: | |||
cd /usr/ports/math/octave | cd /usr/ports/math/octave | ||
make install clean | make install clean | ||
After a while you should have your octave ready to use. | |||
pkg_add -r octave | *Using packages: | ||
As root type: | |||
pkg_add -r octave | |||
If everything goes fine, it'll fetch the package and install it. | |||
Either way it may also be a good idea to install the package called "octave-forge" | |||
== OpenBSD == | == OpenBSD == | ||
Octave can be installed on OpenBSD by installing the precompiled package | |||
or by building from source. | |||
The Octave package for OpenBSD is currently at version 3.0.5. Install it | |||
as root: | |||
pkg_add octave | |||
Building from source on OpenBSD takes a bit of work at the moment, see | |||
[[Compiling on OpenBSD]] for more details. | |||
