-This page is intended as a quick introduction for building octave on archlinux. For more generic and recent build instructions, take a look at [[Building]].
+To simply install the latest stable release of GNU Octave on Arch Linux, just execute (as root):
-If you just want to have the latest version of octave and not intend to edit the sources, consider install [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octave-hg/?comments=all octave-hg] from the AUR. If you want to have a stable version from the repository, just execute
+ pacman -S octave
- sudo pacman -Syu octave
+Using [https://aur.archlinux.org/ AUR], one can install a development version of Octave, for example [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octave-hg/?comments=all octave-hg].  If you encounter any problems during the build process, some problems and solutions are listed in the comments on AUR.  New dependencies are easy to extract from the PKGBUILD.
-If you encounter any problems during the build process that are not mentioned here, take a look at [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octave-hg/?comments=all https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octave-hg/?comments=all]. Some problems are listed in the comments, new dependencies are easy to extract from the PKGBUILD.

+: ''For general build instructions, see [[Building]].''
-To install the necessary build dependencies for the full functionality (including JIT Compiler and so on) just execute (as root):
- pacman -S --needed base-devel pcre mercurial gcc-fortran gperf perl rsync transfig arpack curl fftw fltk glpk glu graphicsmagick hdf5 java-environment qhull qscintilla-qt5 texinfo gnuplot llvm texlive-bin icoutils gl2ps qrupdate
+To install the Octave build dependencies on Arch Linux, just execute (as root):
-Assuming you have yaourt installed, the dependencies from the AUR are installed as follows (as normal user):
-  yaourt -S epstool

-Checkout octave as described in [http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/get-involved.html http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/get-involved.html].
-It is recommended to build octave within a subdirectory.
