| === CentOS ===
| |
| | |
| Enable use of [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)] AND THEN install octave dependencies development packages:
| |
| | |
| yum -y install yum-utils
| |
| yum-builddep -y octave
| |
| yum -y install qt-devel mercurial gcc-c++ lapack-devel libtool
| |
| yum -y install epstool transfig pstoedit qscintilla-devel
| |
| | |
| The arpack-devel package distributed with CentOS 7 (arpack-devel-3.1.3-2.el7.x86_64) seems a bit old, as routine "seupdate" seems not recognized during
| |
| the "configure" step. This can be solved by installing arpack from github:
| |
| git clone git@github.com:opencollab/arpack-ng.git
| |
| cd arpack-ng
| |
| ./bootstrap
| |
| ./configure --prefix="some local prefix"
| |
| make; make install
| |
| | |
| Current release as of Aug. 20th 2018 seems to compile OK with CentOS blas-devel
| |
| | |
| ===== Prepare installation of Octave =====
| |
| | |
| The remaining steps do not need to be done as root, except for
| |
| possibly the final installation step. I recommend you create an
| |
| installation directory like /usr/local/octave/VERSION so that it is
| |
| easy to uninstall a given version simply by removing a directory tree.
| |
| Then to use the installed version, put /usr/local/octave/VERSION/bin
| |
| in your PATH. If you create the /usr/local/octave/VERSION directory
| |
| with appropriate permissions, it is not necessary to be root to
| |
| install Octave. For example,
| |
| | |
| mkdir -p /usr/local/octave/dev
| |
| chown jwe.jwe /usr/local/octave/dev
| |
| | |
| create src and build directories:
| |
| | |
| mkdir src build
| |
| | |
| ===== Compiling Octave from source =====
| |
| | |
| Check out a copy of the octave sources in the src directory
| |
| | |
| cd src
| |
| hg clone http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave
| |
| | |
| * bootstrap the build system
| |
| | |
| cd octave
| |
| ./bootstrap
| |
| | |
| * build Octave in the build directory. choose whatever prefix is appropriate for your system. the -jN option builds in parallel
| |
| | |
| cd ../../build
| |
| ../src/octave/configure --prefix=/usr/local/octave/dev
| |
| make -j6 all
| |
| | |
| * Run the test suite
| |
| | |
| make check
| |
| | |
| * If everything looks OK (a few failures are probably normal for the development version) install it
| |
| | |
| make install
| |
| | |
| ==== Installing using snap ====
| |
| | |
| https://snapcraft.io/install/octave/centos - Easiest way to install.
| |
| | |
| * Enable snapd. Snap is available for CentOS 7.6+, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:
| |
| | |
| sudo yum install epel-release
| |
| | |
| * Snap can now be installed as follows:
| |
| | |
| sudo yum install snapd
| |
| | |
| * Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
| |
| | |
| sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
| |
| | |
| * To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
| |
| | |
| sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
| |
| | |
| Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
| |
| | |
| * Install octave. To install octave, simply use the following command:
| |
| | |
| sudo snap install octave
| |
| | |
