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


Here is a list of the latest Octave version available in some Linux distributions
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]] Octave from source.


* Debian Mint 13, has Octave 3.6.2 as of June 28 2012
== Arch Linux ==
* Zenwalk GNU Linux, Snapshot Version, has Octave 3.6.2 as of June 28 2012
 
* Fedora 17, has Octave 3.6.2 as of June 28 2012

* openSUSE 11.4 and 12.1, has Octave 3.6.2 (Science repository) as of June 28 2012
 
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 ==

zypper install octave
zypper install octave-devel  # development files
 
== Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS ==

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.
