Revision as of 11:59, 22 August 2017
GNU Octave is a high-level interpreted language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides capabilities for the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear problems, and for performing other numerical experiments. It also provides extensive graphics capabilities for data visualization and manipulation. GNU Octave is normally used through its interactive interface (CLI and GUI), but it can also be used to write non-interactive programs. The GNU Octave language is quite similar to Matlab so that most programs are easily portable.
Installing
- Get installers and sources from http://octave.org/download
GNU Octave 9.2.0 is the current stable release
Are you using an old version of Octave? Check the Release History page to see how old it is.
News
- OctConf 2018 at CERN
- June 1, 2024 GNU Octave 9.2.0 has been released (see above)!
- GNU Octave mentors four students at the Google Summer of Code 2017.
Getting help with GNU Octave
- Read the GNU Octave documentation
- The frequently asked questions (FAQ) list is good place to start with answers to questions regarding what is Octave, licensing, new features, documentation, installation, coding, contributing to Octave, and more, are found there.
- Continue reading this wiki and feel free to add further content (please check that it is not already part of, or belongs in, the documentation and read the Contribution guidelines).
- Other support options
