#MXE Builds (unofficial, but recommended):
The easiest way to install GNU Octave on Microsoft Windows is using [http://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/ MXE] builds. For the current 4.0.x release installers can be found [https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/windows/ here].
#* [http://mxeoctave.osuv.de GNU Octave 3.8.2]
#[https://cygwin.com Cygwin] package (requires Cygwin to be installed first):
#* [https://cygwin.com/packages/x86/octave GNU Octave 3.8.2 Cygwin package]
#[http://mingw.org MinGW] + Visual studio (official):
#* [http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/ GNU Octave 3.6.4 and Octave Forge Packages]


 
If you got any problems while running Windows 8 or libstdc++-6.dll errors, try this [http://mxeoctave.osuv.de/octave-gui.bat octave-gui.bat] file and place it into your Octave folder (e.g. `C:/octave-4.0/`).
{{Note|GNU Octave 3.8.2 is the current stable release. Detailed instructions for individual releases can be found below.}}
 
 
About older version numbers (versions older than 3.8 don't come with a graphical user interface):
*The 3.6.x are previous releases.
*The 3.4.x are very old releases.
*The 3.2.x are very, very old releases.
