=== CentOS === | |||
Install base CentOS 6.4 system from minimal install disk. | |||
netinstall disk does not work from local iso disk image. | |||
==== Setup Network ==== | |||
reboot and start the network because it is disabled by default: | |||
ifup eth0 | |||
dhclient eth0 | |||
edit `/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0` to enable on next boot. change `ONBOOT` to yes | |||
==== Install X11/DE ==== | |||
update yum | |||
yum update -y | |||
install desktop environment using: | |||
yum -y groupinstall basic-desktop desktop-platform x11 fonts | |||
set system to boot to graphical interface by default | |||
edit /etc/inittab and set default run level to 5 | |||
init 5 | |||
==== Prepare system and dependencies ==== | |||
finish setting up system and creating user | |||
configure sudo | |||
su | |||
edit /etc/sudoers file to enable sudo for wheel group | |||
edit /etc/group and add new user to wheel group | |||
Remaining commands done with sudo | |||
enable use of Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) | |||
yum -y install wget | |||
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm | |||
rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm | |||
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 | |||
===== 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 | |||
===== get source code of octave and compile it===== | |||
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 | |||
