The recommended way for installing Octave and Octave-Forge packages on GNU/Linux systems
is via each distribution package installation system.


The recommended way for installing Octave on GNU/Linux systems is via each distribution's package installation system. If this is for some reason not possible, or the available Octave version too old, consider using a [[#Distribution_independent|distribution independent]] approach described below or [[Building|build Octave from source]].
Here is a list of the latest Octave version available in some Linux distributions


== Arch Linux ==
* Debian Mint 13, has Octave 3.6.2 as of June 28 2012
 
* Zenwalk GNU Linux, has Octave 3.6.2 as of June 28 2012
: ''Main article: [[Octave for Arch Linux]]''
 
pacman -S octave
 
== Debian and Debian-based (such as Ubuntu) ==
 
: ''Main article: [[Octave for Debian systems]]''
 
apt install octave
apt install liboctave-dev  # development files
 
== Fedora ==
 
: ''Main article: [[Octave for Red Hat Linux systems]]''
 
dnf install octave
dnf install octave-devel  # development files
 
== Gentoo ==
 
emerge --ask sci-mathematics/octave
 
== openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise ==
 
: ''Main article: [[Octave for openSUSE]]''
 
zypper install octave
zypper install octave-devel  # development files
 
== Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS ==
 
: ''Main article: [[Octave for Red Hat Linux systems]]''
 
yum install epel-release
yum install octave
yum install octave-devel  # development files
 
If the above does not work, follow [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F these instructions] to set up your system to install packages from EPEL.

= Distribution independent =
 
Using a distribution independent approach is particularly useful if you have an older GNU/Linux distribution or if you do not have root access on your system. A common drawback of this approach is, that these solutions are running in some kind of sandbox. Thus limitations in the communication with the underlying system may exist.  For example, executing system binaries outside the sandbox might be impossible.
 
== Anaconda ==

  conda create --name octave
  conda activate octave
  conda install -c conda-forge octave

== Homebrew on Linux ==
<div id="Linuxbrew"></div>
 
"Homebrew on Linux" was formerly a fork known as Linuxbrew. It is possible to install the current release of Octave or the development version and any needed dependencies within your home directory.
 
* More info: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux
* Development: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/octave
 
brew install octave

* Development: https://github.com/octave-snap/octave-snap
 
snap install octave
 
If you want to use a nightly snapshot build of the development branch of Octave, install from the ''edge'' channel
 
snap install --edge octave
 
== Spack ==
