For old versions of Ubuntu that only supply old versions of Octave, consider using Octave's PPA. For more details, see the [[Debian]] specific instructions page.

There are also Debian packages for each of the Octave-Forge packages, usually named {{codeline|octave<pkgname>}}, e.g, {{codeline|octave-image}} and {{codeline|octave-statistics}} for the image processing and statistics package respectively. A complete list of them can be found with the command:

The packages can be installed using the yum command, they are:
The packages can be installed using the dnf command, they are:


*octave
*octave
*octave-devel
*octave-devel
*octave-forge


{{Codeline|octave-forge}} is recommended to all users, as it provides many extra functions. {{Codeline|octave-devel}} contains the octave headers and {{Path|mkoctfile}} script and is really only needed by users who are developing code that is to be dynamically linked to octave. {{Codeline|octave}} and {{Codeline|octave-forge}} can be installed with the command:

By default, yum will most likely install blas and lapack as your matrix math libraries, but ATLAS is usually much faster. If you want to install atlas with octave, use the command
 
    # yum install octave-forge atlas
 
Note that if you are using an i386-compatible processor the base atlas package is not optimized for newer hardware. If you have newer hardware, you can get even better performance with the atlas-3dnow (AMD K6 processors), atlas-sse (Pentium III or newer), or atlas-sse2 (Pentium 4 or newer).

Octave is provided by the [https://linuxbrew.sh/ Linuxbrew] package manager, which is a cross-distribution packaging system. It is possible to install the current release of Octave or the development version and any needed dependencies within your home directory. This is particularly useful if you have an older Linux distribution or if you do not have root access. Octave can be installed with the commands:
    sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"
    test -d ~/.linuxbrew && eval $(~/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
    test -d /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew && eval $(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
    test -r ~/.bash_profile && echo "eval \$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)" >>~/.bash_profile
    echo "eval \$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)" >>~/.profile
    brew install octave
