Octave is provided by the [https://brew.sh/ Homebrew] package manager, which is a cross-distribution packaging system. "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. This is particularly useful if you have an older GNU/Linux distribution or if you do not have root access. | |||
Homebrew can be installed with the command: | |||
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)" | |||
It can be added to your shell environment and future login environments with: | |||
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 | |||
Once set up, Octave can be installed with the command: | |||
brew install octave | |||

Octave is available as a Docker container. This can be used to easily run Octave in a well-defined, minimal GNU/Linux container. It can be used as a standard interactive Octave shell or to run scripts, but it may be mostly of interest to developers for use in automated build, test, or CI environments. | |||
docker pull mtmiller/octave | |||
docker run mtmiller/octave octave --version | |||
The image is hosted at [https://hub.docker.com/r/mtmiller/octave mtmiller/octave on Docker Hub]. | |||
