Octave for other Unix systems: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:06, 23 October 2019

For other Unix systems you may have to build Octave from source.

If you're running FreeBSD you have two options: you can build from source (via ports) or get the precompiled package:

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 
make install clean

After a while you should have your octave ready to use.

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"

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.
