| | The Octave-Forge packages are spread over many Debian packages. All Octave-Forge packages will probably be found with the command: |
| | |
| As of 2008/05, the command above should list, amongst others:
| |
| | |
| octave3.0 - GNU Octave language for numerical computations (3.0 branch)
| |
| octave3.0-doc - PDF documentation on the GNU Octave language (3.0 branch)
| |
| octave3.0-emacsen - Emacs support for the GNU Octave language (3.0 branch)
| |
| octave3.0-headers - header files for the GNU Octave language (3.0 branch)
| |
| | |
| In July, 2012, with that time current stable (Squeeze), you get above mentioned in 3.2 version, so replace names of the packages appropriately in the following commands.
| |
| | |
| Select your choice of packages, then install them, e.g. w/
| |
| | |
| # aptitude install octave3.0 octave3.0-doc octave3.0-emacsen

| ==Notes:==
| |
| | |
| *For brevity, the numerous other Debian packages have been omitted in the above list.
| |
| *At a minimum, one should install one of the packages returned by the command:
| |
| | |
| $ aptitude search ?provides\(^octave$\)
| |
| | |
| *The OctaveForge packages are spread over many Debian packages. All OctaveForge packages will probably be found with the command:
| |
|
| |
|
| $ aptitude search ?description\(octave-forge\) | | $ aptitude search ?description\(octave-forge\) |

| In order to build Octave from development sources, the first step is to follow the instructions given under the heading Development Sources of [http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html Downloading Octave]. These commands require Mercurial, which can be installed with the command
| |
|
| |
| # aptitude install mercurial
| |
|
| |
| Building Octave from sources requires a number of programs and libraries. All of these are available as Debian packages and the list given on [Debian's source package page for Octave3.2] can be used for reference and installed by
| |
|
| |
| # aptitude build-dep octave3.2
| |
|
| |
| After this, it should be possible to follow the [[Build from source]] instructions.
| |
|
| |
| ==Debian Versions==
| |
|
| |
| Note that on Debian, multiple versions of Octave are provided concurrently and thus, Octave packages have names that include the version number, such as, for example: octave2.1-emacsen, octave3.0-emacsen, octave3.2-emacsen. This may change with Octave 3.4.
