The recommended way for installing Octave on GNU/Linux systems is via each distribution's 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]].

= 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.

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 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.


Homebrew can be installed with the command:
* More info: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-on-Linux
* Development: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/octave


  sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"
  brew install octave


It can be added to your shell environment and future login environments with:
== MXE ==


test -d ~/.linuxbrew && eval $(~/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
* More info: [[MXE]]
test -d /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew && eval $(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)
* Development: https://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave
test -r ~/.bash_profile && echo "eval \$($(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:
== Snap ==


  brew install octave
* More info: https://snapcraft.io/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 ==
 
* More info: https://spack.readthedocs.io/
* Development: https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/develop/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/octave/package.py
 
spack install octave


== Docker ==
= Building from source =


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.
: ''Main article: [[Building]]''


docker pull mtmiller/octave
== See also ==
docker run mtmiller/octave octave --version


The image is hosted at [https://hub.docker.com/r/mtmiller/octave mtmiller/octave on Docker Hub].
