libpcre3-dev libarpack2-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev epstool libfftw3-dev
transfig libfltk1.3-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libgl2ps-dev
libglpk-dev libreadline-dev gnuplot-x11 libgraphicsmagick++1-dev
libhdf5-serial-dev openjdk-8-jdk libsndfile1-dev llvm-dev lpr texinfo
libgl1-mesa-dev libosmesa6-dev pstoedit portaudio19-dev libqhull-dev

librsvg2-bin libtool perl rsync tar


2. Clone the Octave sources:

       hg clone https://www.octave.org/hg/octave

3. Change to the top-level directory of the Octave source tree and
   run the `bootstrap` script:

       cd octave
       ./bootstrap

4. Create a build directory, `cd` to it, then run `configure` and
   `make`, or `make -jX` (to run `X` simultaneous jobs):

       mkdir .build
       cd .build
       ../configure
       make -j2
       make check
       make install
