This is a list of Packages and Codes available for GNU Octave.

Octave packages

Octave packages extend the functionality of GNU Octave by particular useful features and can be developed and distributed by anyone. Currently there are two collections of Octave packages:

• Octave Forge
• Package extensions index

The format and requirements of Octave packages is specified in the GNU Octave manual. There is an example package as well.

Octave packages can be installed by the pkg tool. The following two examples demonstrate how to install the example package (1.) after downloading the release tarball and (2.) directly from an URL.

1. pkg install pkg-example-1.0.0.tar.gz
2. pkg install https://github.com/gnu-octave/pkg-example/archive/1.0.0.tar.gz

If your packages meets additional criteria and is added to the Octave Forge index, you can furthermore install it with the -forge flag, for example:

• pkg install -forge image

Other codes

MPI

mpi Octave bindings for basic Message Passing Interface (MPI) functions for parallel computing.

GeoPDEs

GeoPDEs is an open source and free package for the research and teaching of Isogeometric Analysis, written in Octave and fully compatible with Matlab.

The GeoPDEs package provides a common and flexible framework for implementing and testing new isogeometric methods for the solution of partial differential equations.

FEATool - Finite Element Analysis Toolbox

FEATool Multiphysics is a commercial and proprietary Octave and Matlab FEM toolbox for modeling and simulation of physics and engineering applications with the finite element method. FEATool features an easy to use GUI and fully integrated CAD, geometry tools, automatic grid generation and solvers.
