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.

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.

DistributionsEdit

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 approach described below or build Octave from source.

Arch LinuxEdit

Main article: Octave for Arch Linux
pacman -S octave

Debian and Debian-based (such as Ubuntu)Edit

Main article: Octave for Debian systems
apt install octave
apt install liboctave-dev  # development files

FedoraEdit

Main article: Octave for Red Hat Linux systems
dnf install octave
dnf install octave-devel  # development files

GentooEdit

emerge --ask sci-mathematics/octave

openSUSE and SUSE Linux EnterpriseEdit

Main article: Octave for openSUSE
zypper install octave
zypper install octave-devel  # development files

Red Hat Enterprise/CentOSEdit

Main article: Octave for Red Hat Linux systems
yum install epel-release
yum install octave
yum install octave-devel  # development files

If the above does not work, follow these instructions to set up your system to install packages from EPEL.

SlackwareEdit

Distribution independentEdit

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.

AnacondaEdit

 conda create --name octave
 conda activate octave
 conda install -c conda-forge octave

Docker / Podman / SingularityEdit

docker pull docker.io/gnuoctave/octave:9.1.0
podman pull docker.io/gnuoctave/octave:9.1.0

singularity pull docker://gnuoctave/octave:9.1.0

mtmiller's versionEdit

docker pull docker.io/mtmiller/octave

FlatpakEdit

flatpak install flathub org.octave.Octave

GuixEdit

guix install octave

Homebrew on LinuxEdit

"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. 

brew install octave

MXEEdit

SnapEdit

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

SpackEdit

spack install octave

Building from sourceEdit
