The file INSTALL.OCTAVE is generated, and is in the top-level of the
distributed source archive, e.g. octave-5.2.0.tar.xz.

The source for this file is doc/interpreter/install.txi, if you want to
read it straight from the repository, and if you don't mind reading
Texinfo.

  https://gitlab.com/mtmiller/octave/-/blob/master/doc/interpreter/install.txi

It's also included as Appendix E in the user manual:

  https://octave.org/doc/interpreter/Installation.html

I think the text you are referring to is outdated, let's fix it.
