Distributions[edit]
The recommended way for installing Octave on GNU/Linux systems is via each distribution's package installation system. If this is for some reason not possible, or the available Octave version too old, consider using a distribution independent approach described below or build Octave from source.
Arch Linux[edit]
- Main article: Octave for Arch Linux
pacman -S octave
Debian and Debian-based (such as Ubuntu)[edit]
- Main article: Octave for Debian systems
apt install octave apt install liboctave-dev # development files
Fedora[edit]
- Main article: Octave for Red Hat Linux systems
dnf install octave dnf install octave-devel # development files
Gentoo[edit]
emerge --ask sci-mathematics/octave
openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise[edit]
- Main article: Octave for openSUSE
zypper install octave zypper install octave-devel # development files
Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS[edit]
- Main article: Octave for Red Hat Linux systems
yum install epel-release yum install octave yum install octave-devel # development files
If the above does not work, follow these instructions to set up your system to install packages from EPEL.
Slackware[edit]

Distribution independent[edit]
Using a distribution independent approach is particularly useful if you have an older GNU/Linux distribution or if you do not have root access on your system. A common drawback of this approach is, that these solutions are running in some kind of sandbox. Thus limitations in the communication with the underlying system may exist. For example, executing system binaries outside the sandbox might be impossible.
Anaconda[edit]
- More info: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/octave
conda create --name octave conda activate octave conda install -c conda-forge octave
Docker / Podman / Singularity[edit]
- More info: https://hub.docker.com/r/gnuoctave/octave
- Development: https://github.com/gnu-octave/docker
docker pull docker.io/gnuoctave/octave:9.2.0 podman pull docker.io/gnuoctave/octave:9.2.0
singularity pull docker://gnuoctave/octave:9.2.0
mtmiller's version[edit]

- Development: https://github.com/flathub/org.octave.Octave
flatpak install flathub org.octave.Octave
Guix[edit]
guix install octave
Homebrew on Linux[edit]
"Homebrew on Linux" was formerly a fork known as Linuxbrew. It is possible to install the current release of Octave or the development version and any needed dependencies within your home directory.
- More info: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux
- Development: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/octave
brew install octave
MXE[edit]

Snap[edit]
- More info: https://snapcraft.io/octave
- Development: https://github.com/octave-snap/octave-snap
snap install octave
If you want to use a nightly snapshot build of the development branch of Octave, install from the edge channel
snap install --edge octave
Spack[edit]
