Octave for other Unix systems

Are you looking for GNU/Linux systems?

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

FreeBSDEdit

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].

OpenBSDEdit

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].
