[https://octave.sourceforge.io Octave Forge] is a community project for collaborative development of [[:Category:Packages|Octave packages]]. If you have a large package that you want to open up to collaborative development, or a couple of m-files that you want to contribute to an existing package, Octave Forge is the place to do it. | |||
== Installing packages == | |||
You can find the list of packages on the [https://octave.sourceforge.io/packages.php Octave Forge website]. The recommended method for package installation is using your system package manager, see also the [[FAQ#Packages_and_Octave_Forge | FAQ]] for the most common issues. The official [[Octave_for_Microsoft_Windows | Windows Installer]] bundles several [[Octave_for_Microsoft_Windows#Packages | packages]] so they don't have to be installed separately. | |||
To install a package from the Octave Forge, at the Octave prompt type {{Codeline|pkg install -forge package_name}}. This requires an internet connection. | |||
If you use a [[Release_History | very old Octave version]] (< 3.4.0), you'll have to download the package file manually, and use {{Codeline|pkg install package_file_name.tar.gz}}. | |||
