As root type:

If everything goes fine, it'll fetch the package and install it.

Are you looking for GNU/Linux systems?

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

FreeBSD[edit]

The easiest way to obtain GNU Octave is to install the precompiled package as root user: 

pkg install octave

Another possibility is to build Octave from source via Ports[1]. 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

Some Octave Forge packages can be installed in the same way: 

pkg install octave-forge

or via Ports[2].

OpenBSD[edit]

The easiest way to obtain GNU Octave is to install the precompiled package as root user: 

pkg_add octave

Another possibility is to build Octave from source via Ports[3].
