Do you expect visitors to provide any input? In that case, you *must*
filter those inputs really *strict*. You don't want 
        system("rm -rf /") 
to be executed.

You can install the version of Octave that comes with your distribution.
Most distributions contain Octave, and unless you need the latest
version, the one that comes included should be fine.
