The below is described:

The recommended way for installing Octave and Octave-Forge packages on 
GNU/Linux systems is via each distribution package installation system.

However, version of octave of each distribution package is not always latest.
The octave by flatpak is now mentioned in octave main.
However, on flatpack we cannot install Octave-Forge packages at present.

I am an Ubuntu user and always build octave from source to use the latest 
octave and octave-forge packages.


On Ubuntu, build octave from source is not so difficult if one get build 
instruction

I think that build information is better also be included in
