+ +### GNU/Linux {#linux2} + +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). + + +

 

+ +### macOS {#macos2} + +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). + + +

 

+ +### BSD {#bsd2} + +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. + + +
