Octave Server Setup & Training

Job ID: 40164618

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I already have GNU Octave installed on an Ubuntu 20.04 box, but the configuration isn’t finished and I don’t have the time—or the depth of expertise—to chase every dependency and service tweak myself. The goal is to get the server fully operational and then show my team how to use it with confidence.

What I need from you:
• Finish the Octave Server configuration so it starts cleanly at boot, is reachable over the network, and behaves the same for every session.
• Create a few custom user roles with the right permission levels.
• Recommend (and install if approved) any additional open-source tools that logically complement Octave.
• Host a 1 hour Zoom call where you walk the team through connecting, running code, and general workflow tips.
• During that call, help us run a small MATLAB script inside Octave, explain any syntax differences, and demonstrate basic debugging.

Completion criteria are straightforward: Octave launches reliably after reboot, each role can log in and execute the test script, and the team leaves the Zoom session comfortable repeating the process on their own. SSH credentials are ready, and I’m flexible on scheduling—mornings or afternoons or evenings UTC 1 (CET) work best.

If you can close this out quickly and clearly, let’s talk.
