| === Troubleshooting === | | =Fedora= |
|
| |
|
| At Ubuntu, broken packages install may cause a <span color="red">error: `pkg' undefined</span> error, previously reported as [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave3.2/+bug/465005 bug 465005]:
| | : ''Main article: [[Octave for Red Hat Linux systems]]'' |
|
| |
|
| ...
| | The packages can be installed using the dnf command, they are: |
| Setting up octave3.2 (3.2.2-2build1) ...
| |
| error: `pkg' undefined near line 0 column 1
| |
|
| |
| dpkg: error processing octave3.2 (--configure):
| |
| subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
| |
| Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
| |
| ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
| |
| Processing triggers for menu ...
| |
| Errors were encountered while processing:
| |
| octave3.2
| |
| E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
| |
|
| |
|
| Fix this by complete reinstall:
| | *octave |
| | *octave-devel |
|
| |
|
| sudo apt-get --purge remove octave3.2
| | {{Codeline|octave-devel}} contains the octave headers and {{Path|mkoctfile}} script and is really only needed by users who are developing code that is to be dynamically linked to octave. {{Codeline|octave}} can be installed with the command: |
| sudo apt-get --purge remove octave3.2-common
| |
| sudo apt-get install octave3.2
| |
| =Ubuntu 12.04=
| |
| The package can be obtained from the Software Center but the Octave package is old (3.2). The most current stable version is available through a Personal Package Archive (PPA). You will need to add the PPA to you system. Execute the following in a terminal:
| |
|
| |
|
| sudo apt-add-repository ppa:octave/stable | | # dnf install octave |
| sudo apt-get update
| |
|
| |
|
| If you need more information on adding a repository, visit [https://launchpad.net/~octave/+archive/stable GNU Octave Stable Releases] PPA. You can now install from the Software Center or a terminal.
| | =Gentoo= |
|
| |
|
| To install Octave with documentation execute the following in a terminal:
| | Octave is available through Gentoo's package management system, Portage: |
|
| |
|
| sudo apt-get install octave octave-doc octave-info octave-htmldoc | | # emerge --sync |
| | Add USE flag 'curl' into your <code>/etc/portage/package.use</code> file to enable remote Octave-Forge packages fetching |
| | sci-mathematics/octave curl |
| | and emerge Octave |
| | # emerge octave |
| | Since Octave ver. > 3.4.0 is able to fetch Octave-Forge packages from remote repository, packages ''octave-forge'' or ''g-octave'' are no more needed. |
|
| |
|
| If you want to be able to build packages from Octave Forge, you will want liboctave-dev package:
| | Before installing any Octave-Forge package, in Octave command prompt you must type |
| | pkg -forge list |
| | and then install your favourite packages. Typically, you have to start with |
| | pkg install -forge general |
|
| |
|
| sudo apt-get install liboctave-dev
| | =Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS= |
|
| |
|
| If you want Octave debugging symbols, use the following:
| | : ''Main article: [[Octave for Red Hat Linux systems]]'' |
|
| |
|
| sudo apt-get install octave-dbg
| | Octave is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions through the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL EPEL] repository. This section applies to CentOS, Scientific Linux, and other Red Hat Enterprise rebuild distributions as well. |
|
| |
|
| =Fedora=
| | '''Method 1 - the quick way:''' |
| The packages can be installed using the yum command, they are:
| |
|
| |
|
| *octave
| | yum install epel-release |
| *octave-devel
| | yum install octave |
| *octave-forge
| |
|
| |
|
| {{Codeline|octave-forge}} is recommended to all users, as it provides many extra functions. {{Codeline|octave-devel}} contains the octave headers and {{Path|mkoctfile}} script and is really only needed by users who are developing code that is to be dynamically linked to octave. {{Codeline|octave}} and {{Codeline|octave-forge}} can be installed with the command:
| | '''Method 2 - if the above does not work:''' |
|
| |
|
| # yum install octave-forge
| | First, follow [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F these instructions] to set up your system to install packages from EPEL. For example, |
|
| |
|
| By default, yum will most likely install blas and lapack as your matrix math libraries, but ATLAS is usually much faster. If you want to install atlas with octave, use the command
| | # wget <nowiki>http://url/to/latest/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm</nowiki> |
| | # yum localinstall epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm |
|
| |
|
| # yum install octave-forge atlas
| | Once the EPEL repository has been enabled, you can follow the rest of the [[#Fedora|instructions for Fedora]] to install Octave using yum. |
|
| |
|
| Note that if you are using an i386-compatible processor the base atlas package is not optimized for newer hardware. If you have newer hardware, you can get even better performance with the atlas-3dnow (AMD K6 processors), atlas-sse (Pentium III or newer), or atlas-sse2 (Pentium 4 or newer). | | Note that EPEL intentionally does not follow new releases as closely as other distributions. Consequently, the version of Octave provided by EPEL may be several months or years out of date. There are plans for the Octave maintainers to provide support and binary RPMs for enterprise GNU/Linux distributions; contact the [mailto:maintainers@octave.org maintainers mailing list] for more information. |

| # emerge octave
| |
| # emerge octave-forge (optional)

| Once the EPEL repository has been enabled, you can follow the rest of the [[#Fedora|instructions for Fedora]] to install Octave using yum.
| | : ''Main article: [[Octave for Arch Linux]]'' |
|
| |
|
| Note that EPEL intentionally does not follow new releases as closely as other distributions. Consequently, the version of Octave provided by EPEL may be several months or years out of date. There are plans for the Octave maintainers to provide support and binary RPMs for enterprise GNU/Linux distributions, contact the [mailto:maintainers@octave.org maintainers mailing list] for more information.
| | Updated Octave's version is in the extra repository. It can be installed by typing: |
|
| |
|
| =Red Hat=
| | # pacman -S octave |
|
| |
|
| GNU Octave is included with Red Hat. If you are still using an old version of Red Hat and want a newer version of GNU Octave, your best options are to consider updating your distribution to a recent Fedora release or compile octave from source.
| | =Homebrew on Linux= |
| | <div id="Linuxbrew" /> |
|
| |
|
| Note that RH 7.x distributions (as well as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1) have included an old version of GCC (pre 3.x). It is known that GCC 2.96 (included in RH7.3) can compile GNU Octave (as of version 2.1.57), but the resulting binary will be bad. Red Hat made available RPMs for GCC 3.1-5 through http://rhn.redhat.com (those RPMs may be available on other RPM repositories).
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| =SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE=
| | Homebrew can be installed with the command: |
| Octave 3.6.2 is included in the science repository with SLE 11 SP2 and openSUSE 11.4, 12.1, 12.2
| |
|
| |
|
| [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/ OBS science]
| | sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)" |
|
| |
|
| For example, for openSUSE 12.2 you would do:
| | It can be added to your shell environment and future login environments with: |
|
| |
|
| # zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_12.2/ science | | test -d ~/.linuxbrew && eval $(~/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv) |
| # zypper refresh | | test -d /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew && eval $(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv) |
| # zypper install octave octave-devel | | test -r ~/.bash_profile && echo "eval \$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)" >>~/.bash_profile |
| | echo "eval \$($(brew --prefix)/bin/brew shellenv)" >>~/.profile |
|
| |
|
| for other versions change the version number in the first command accordingly.
| | Once set up, Octave can be installed with the command: |
|
| |
|
| 2012-08-21: arpack-ng and SuiteSparse 4.0 bindings which were broken before are again functional, if you have a previous version of the rpm's installed consider to update them.

| | =Docker= |
|
| |
|
| =Arch Linux=
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| Updated Octave's version is in the extra repository. It can be installed by typing:
| | docker pull mtmiller/octave |
| | | docker run mtmiller/octave octave --version |
| # pacman -S octave | |
|
| |
|
| [[Category:GNULinux]] | | The image is hosted at [https://hub.docker.com/r/mtmiller/octave mtmiller/octave on Docker Hub]. |
