| The recommended way for installing Octave and Octave-Forge packages on GNU/Linux systems
| | = Distributions = |
| is via each distribution package installation system.
| |
|
| |
|
| More detailed instructions follow.
| | 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]]. |
|
| |
|
| =Debian and Debian-based (such as Ubuntu)= | | == Arch Linux == |
| | |
| | : ''Main article: [[Octave for Arch Linux]]'' |
| | |
| | pacman -S octave |
| | |
| | == Debian and Debian-based (such as Ubuntu) == |
|
| |
|
| : ''Main article: [[Octave for Debian systems]]'' | | : ''Main article: [[Octave for Debian systems]]'' |
|
| |
|
| Simply install Octave from your distribution repository
| | 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 == |
|
| |
|
| apt install octave | | emerge --ask sci-mathematics/octave |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | == openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise == |
|
| |
|
| There are also Debian packages for each of the Octave Forge packages, named {{codeline|octave-<pkg>}}, for example {{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
| | : ''Main article: [[Octave for openSUSE]]'' |
|
| |
|
| apt search octave-forge | | zypper install octave |
| | zypper install octave-devel # development files |
|
| |
|
| =Fedora= | | == Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS == |
|
| |
|
| : ''Main article: [[Octave for Red Hat Linux systems]]'' | | : ''Main article: [[Octave for Red Hat Linux systems]]'' |
|
| |
|
| The packages can be installed using the dnf command, they are:
| | 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 = |
|
| |
|
| *octave
| | 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. |
| *octave-devel
| |
|
| |
|
| {{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}} can be installed with the command:
| | == Anaconda == |
|
| |
|
| # dnf install octave
| | * More info: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/octave |
|
| |
|
| =Gentoo=
| | conda create --name octave |
| | conda activate octave |
| | conda install -c conda-forge octave |
|
| |
|
| Octave is available through Gentoo's package management system, Portage:
| | == Docker / Podman / Singularity == |
|
| |
|
| # emerge --sync
| | * More info: https://hub.docker.com/r/gnuoctave/octave |
| Add USE flag 'curl' into your <code>/etc/portage/package.use</code> file to enable remote Octave-Forge packages fetching
| | * Development: https://github.com/gnu-octave/docker |
| sci-mathematics/octave curl
| |
| and emerge Octave
| |
| # emerge octave
| |
| Since Octave ver. > 3.4.0 is able to fetch Octave-Forge packages from remote repository, packages ''octave-forge'' or ''g-octave'' are no more needed.
| |
|
| |
|
| Before installing any Octave-Forge package, in Octave command prompt you must type
| | docker pull docker.io/gnuoctave/octave:{{Release}} |
| pkg -forge list | | podman pull docker.io/gnuoctave/octave:{{Release}} |
| and then install your favourite packages. Typically, you have to start with
| |
| pkg install -forge general | |
|
| |
|
| =Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS=
| | singularity pull docker://gnuoctave/octave:{{Release}} |
|
| |

| | * Development: https://gitlab.com/mtmiller/docker-octave |
|
| |
|
| Octave is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions through the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL EPEL] repository. This section applies to CentOS, Scientific Linux, and other Red Hat Enterprise rebuild distributions as well.
| | docker pull docker.io/mtmiller/octave |
|
| |
|
| '''Method 1 - the quick way:'''
| | == Flatpak == |
|
| |
|
| yum install epel-release
| | * More info: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.octave.Octave |
| yum install octave
| | * Development: https://github.com/flathub/org.octave.Octave |
|
| |
|
| '''Method 2 - if the above does not work:'''
| | flatpak install flathub org.octave.Octave |
|
| |
|
| First, 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. For example,
| | == Guix == |
|
| |
|
| # wget <nowiki>http://url/to/latest/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm</nowiki>
| | * More info: https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/octave-6.2.0/ |
| # yum localinstall epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
| |
|
| |
|
| Once the EPEL repository has been enabled, you can follow the rest of the [[#Fedora|instructions for Fedora]] to install Octave using yum.
| | guix install octave |
|
| |
|
| Note that EPEL intentionally does not follow new releases as closely as other distributions. Consequently, the version of Octave provided by EPEL may be several months or years out of date. There are plans for the Octave maintainers to provide support and binary RPMs for enterprise GNU/Linux distributions; contact the [mailto:maintainers@octave.org maintainers mailing list] for more information.
| | == Homebrew on Linux == |
| | <div id="Linuxbrew"></div> |
|
| |
|
| =SUSE Linux and openSUSE=
| | "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. |
|
| |
|
| : ''Main article: [[Octave for openSUSE]]'' | | * More info: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux |

|
| |
|
| Binary packages for Octave are provided by all versions of openSUSE. It can be installed by command:
| | brew install octave |
|
| |
|
| zypper in octave
| | == MXE == |
|
| |
|
| Latest stable version of Octave and Octave-Forge are available on Science repository. For details see [[openSUSE]] specific wiki page.

| | * Development: https://github.com/octave-snap/octave-snap |
|
| |
|
| Updated Octave's version is in the extra repository. It can be installed by typing:
| | snap install octave |
|
| |
|
| # pacman -S octave
| | If you want to use a nightly snapshot build of the development branch of Octave, install from the ''edge'' channel |
|
| |
|
| =Homebrew on Linux=
| | snap install --edge octave |
| <div id="Linuxbrew" />
| |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | == Spack == |
|
| |
|
| Homebrew can be installed with the command:
| | * More info: https://spack.readthedocs.io/ |
| | * Development: https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/develop/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/octave/package.py |
|
| |
|
| sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"
| | spack install octave |
|
| |
|
| It can be added to your shell environment and future login environments with:
| | = Building from source = |
|
| |
|
| test -d ~/.linuxbrew && eval $(~/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
| | : ''Main article: [[Building]]'' |
| 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:
