I tried to install Octave using the following commands:

1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:octave/stable




2. sudo apt update




3. sudo apt-get install octave

But after running the 1st command, I get the following error:

The latest version of GNU Octave built for all supported Ubuntu releases. GNU Octave is normally distributed with Ubuntu, this PPA is for you if you have a need to use a newer version of Octave than what you can already get from your installed version of Ubuntu.

Simply follow the instructions below to add this PPA to your system and install the octave package. If it's not that easy or you encounter any errors, contact the team and let us know.

Much credit goes to the Debian Octave Group who maintain the official Debian packages that this work is derived from. Without their efforts to bring Octave packaging to such a high level of quality in Debian and Debian derivatives, this PPA would not be here.

  Retrieving GPG keys from the SKS keyserver network is facing problems (I guess?). You'll have to retrieve the GPG key for the repo from elsewhere. (I may be wrong)

At almost all the places over the internet the above 3 steps are recommended to install Octave.

But the PPA of this software is for older versions of Ubuntu (16.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS). And doesn't need to be added explicitly.

Directly, run the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt install octave

It should work fine. Hope this helps :)
