=== Obtaining the Source ===
The source files can be obtained as a tarball from [https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/ https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/], or by cloning from the [[Mercurial|mercurial repositories]].  Note that, if you use mercurial, you will need to call {{Codeline|./bootstrap}} to generate the necessary scripts before configuration.
