General information about building the Octave source for different operating systems.

General steps

Build from the development repository Build from a release
Install all build dependencies (see below). 
hg clone https://www.octave.org/hg/octave && \
cd octave                                  && \
./bootstrap

wget https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/octave/octave-9.2.0.tar.gz && \
tar -xzf octave-9.2.0.tar.gz

mkdir .build                            && \
cd    .build                            && \
./../configure --prefix=$HOME/my_octave && \ [1]
make -j2                                && \ [2]
make check                              && \
make install

We try to keep build instructions up to date in the source tree. Please clone using Mercurial or download it to see the README.

There are also instructions in the manual.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ --prefix determines the installation location.
  2. ↑ Depending on your system and processor count, use a larger number of parallel jobs, e.g. -j8.
