*Fink has excellent support for Octave and includes recent as well as dated versions. A list of what Fink has available for Octave is [http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/browse.php?summary=octave here]. To install the latest Octave, type {{Codeline|<nowiki>sudo fink install octave</nowiki>}} at the Terminal's command line. For those running the 64 bit version of Fink, it is recommended that {{Codeline|octave-atlas}} be installed instead as there are some bugs/features with Apple's vecLib for the X86_64 architecture. Octave has many dependencies which will be downloaded and installed prior to Octave. The entire installation process can take a few hours. | *Fink has excellent support for Octave and includes recent as well as dated versions.

* Fink should also be used to install [[http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.php packages] for Octave. For example, the control systems package for Lion may be installed by typing {{Codeline|fink install control-atlas-oct362}} at a terminals command line. | * Fink should also be used to install [[http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.php packages] for Octave.

For the {{Codeline|doc()}} function to be supported by Octave, either the unversioned {{Codeline|octave}}, {{Codeline|octave-atlas}}, or {{Codeline|octave-ref}} package must be installed. Essentially, those features used at run-time which don't have a | |||
version somewhere in the file path are included in these packages. | |||
