How to install the latest Octave

rated 0 times [ 11] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 43160 / 2 Years ago, wed, august 17, 2022, 6:37:11

I want to install Octave on my Ubuntu LTS with apt-get. The problem is that the official repositories list only Octave 3.0 and Octave 3.2, whereas the latest Octave is Octave 3.6.

How do I update the repositories of apt-get to get Octave 3.6?

This PPA should solve your problem, provided you are running the latest 12.04.

Open Terminal Ctrl-Alt-T and type:



sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:picaso/octave

sudo apt-get update 

sudo apt-get install octave

sudo apt-get install liboctave-dev

For Ubuntu 20.04, see this answer.
