GNU Octave 11.1.0 is the latest stable release. (Release Notes)

 

Source

The latest released version of Octave is always available from

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

Please download from https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/octave, which will redirect automatically to a nearby mirror site.

Users are encouraged to verify the integrity of the files they download (such as octave-11.1.0.tar.xz) as follows:

  • Ensure that you are downloading from the Octave website, or from an official GNU mirror linked from the Octave website.
  • Download the corresponding signature file. For example, if you like to check the integrity of octave-11.1.0.tar.xz, download the signature file octave-11.1.0.tar.xz.sig.
  • Run the following command to import John W. Eaton’s public key (this needs to be done only once).
    gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys B05F05B75D36644B
    
  • Verify the integrity of the file you downloaded with a command like
    gpg --verify octave-11.1.0.tar.xz.sig
    
  • If all is well, then the output should say
    gpg: Good signature from "John W. Eaton <jwe@gnu.org>
    

    which indicates the downloaded file matches the signature.

  • If the signature does not match the file you downloaded, the output might say
    gpg: BAD signature from "John W. Eaton <jwe@gnu.org>".
    

    in which case you should delete the file, and try to download it again.

 

GNU/Linux

Packaged versions of Octave for GNU/Linux systems are provided by the individual distributions described in the Octave wiki. 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.

 

BSD

Executable versions of Octave for BSD systems are provided by the individual distributions. Both FreeBSD and OpenBSD have Octave packages. These packages are created by volunteers and the Octave project has no control over that process.

 

macOS

The Octave Wiki has instructions for installing Octave on macOS systems. Octave is also available in third-party package managers such as Homebrew and MacPorts.

 

Microsoft Windows

Note: All installers below bundle several Octave packages so they don't have to be installed separately. After installation type pkg list to list them.

The 32-bit Windows binaries formerly distributed by the Octave project are no longer supported. The download link has been removed from here but old installers are still available from the FTP mirrors. Patches for known issues are still welcome.

An alternative source for Windows binaries of Octave is MSYS2.

All Windows binaries with corresponding source code can be downloaded from https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/octave/windows/.
