- https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave
- ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave

Please download from

<a name="linux">
### GNU/Linux

Packaged versions of Octave for GNU/Linux systems are provided by the
individual distributions described in the
[Octave wiki]({{ site.wiki_url }}/Category:Installation).
These packages are created by volunteers.
The delay between an Octave source release and the availability of a package
for a particular GNU/Linux distribution varies.

Alternatively,
there are some distribution independent installation methods for more recent
versions of GNU Octave described in the
[Octave wiki]({{ site.wiki_url }}/Octave_for_GNU/Linux#Distribution_independent).


<a name="macos">
### macOS

The [Octave Wiki]({{ site.wiki_url }}/Octave_for_macOS) has instructions for
installing Octave on macOS systems.
Octave is also available in third-party package managers such as
[Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) and [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org).


<a name="bsd">
### BSD

Executable versions of Octave for BSD systems are provided by the individual
distributions.
Both [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/) and [OpenBSD](https://www.openbsd.org/)
have Octave packages.
These packages are created by volunteers and the Octave project has no control
over that process.

so they don't have to be installed separately.
After installation type <code>pkg list</code> to list them.
