Octave Installation
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd‘ to the directory containing the package’s source code and type
`./configure‘ to configure the package for your system. If you’re
using `csh’ on an old version of System V, you might need to type
`sh ./configure’ instead to prevent `csh’ from trying to execute
`configure’ itself.
Running `configure’ takes awhile. While running, it prints some
messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make‘ to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check’ to run any self-tests that come with
the package.
4. Type `make install‘ to install the programs and any data files and
documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
source code directory by typing `make clean‘. To also remove the
files that `configure’ created (so you can compile the package for
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean‘.
Example
# tar -xzvf octave-3.0.1.tar.gz
# cd octave-3.0.1
# ./configure
(before this step ,make sure you have installed all dependency packages
in your Linux system. if not first install those packages, then continue
with configure command)
# make
# make install
# make clean
Installing Octave Forge
1. Goto Octave terminal and use ‘pkg’ command for
installing packages
# pkg install image-1.0.6.tar.gz
