PDL is already available in most Linux distributions. For a default install, follow the instructions below. But if you want more control over the installation, you want the latest PDL, or you want features that your distribution does not offer by default, please go to Installing PDL Manually.


Modules tested: Core features, PGPLOT, PLplot, 3D graphics (OpenGL).

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (tested)

Should work with:

  • Ubuntu 10.04 or later
  • Knoppix 6.0 or later
  • Debian 5.0 or later

apt-get install pdl

# Install PGPLOT
apt-get install pgplot5 libpgplot-perl
