Octave 3.4 require approximately 1.3 GB of disk storage to unpack and
compile from source (considerably less if you don't compile with
debugging symbols). Once installed, Octave requires approximately 355 MB
of disk space (again, considerably less if you don't compile with
debugging symbols, approximately 50 MB).
