Octave can be installed on OpenBSD by installing the precompiled package
The easiest way to obtain GNU Octave is to install the precompiled package as root user:
or by building from source.


The Octave package for OpenBSD is currently at version 3.0.5. Install it
pkg_add octave
as root:


  pkg_add octave
Another possibility is to build Octave from source via Ports<ref>http://openports.se/math/octave</ref>.
 
Building from source on OpenBSD takes a bit of work at the moment, see
[[Compiling on OpenBSD]] for more details.
