Octave-Forge is a central location for the collaborative development of packages for GNU Octave.
The Octave-forge packages contains the source for all the functions and are designed to work with the Octave package system. In general the packages are designed to work with the latest development version of Octave, but it should be possible to use most packages with earlier versions.
Installing packages
You can find the list of packages by clicking on the Packages link at the top. To install a package, download the package file, and install it from the Octave prompt by typing
pkg install package_file_name.tar.gz
where package_file_name.tar.gz is the name of the file you downloaded.
If you have questions regarding software downloaded from Octave-Forge, send a message to the repository mailing list.
If you have code to contribute, send a message to the repository mailing list or join the development team.
For convenience Octave-Forge supplies pre-built installers for Octave:
