Octave Online is a cloud-based version of Octave, a powerful open-source numerical computing software. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Octave Online on Manjaro.
Open a terminal on your Manjaro system. You can do this by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Open Terminal" or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.
To install Octave Online, you will first need to install XAMPP. XAMPP is a software package that includes Apache, MySQL, and PHP, which are essential components for running Octave Online.
To install XAMPP, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S xampp
This command will install XAMPP on your system.
Next, you will need to download the Octave Online source code. You can download the code from the official Octave Online GitHub repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/octave-online/octave-online.git
This command will download the Octave Online source code to your current working directory.
Now, you need to edit the configuration file for Octave Online. The configuration file is called config.php and is located in the octave-online directory that you just downloaded.
To edit the configuration file, run the following command:
nano octave-online/config.php
This will open the configuration file in the Nano text editor.
In the configuration file, you need to change the value of BASEPATH to the path where you downloaded Octave Online. For example, if you downloaded Octave Online to ~/octave-online, you would change the BASEPATH line to:
define('BASEPATH', '~/octave-online/');
Save and close the configuration file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter.
To run Octave Online, you need to start the XAMPP services. To do this, run the following command:
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
This command will start the Apache and MySQL servers.
To run Octave Online, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/octave-online. This will open Octave Online in your web browser.
