Aha. A bit more complicated that I thought ;).

 Well, installing that should be as simple as typing urpmi octave if
 you have sources defined properly. I believe it is in contrib. There are
 some similar programs in contrib as well -- for instance
 macsyma, but that's old and rather clunky compared to something like
 Mathematica. Of course, you get what you pay for. Of course, I lack
 sufficient skill to make much use of the software (not math expert) but
 macsyma seemed rather capable when I tried it out, despite the
 clunkiness, which is much nicer if you use the X interface rather than
 the command line.
 
 I'm not sure how web host enters into this. Are you trying to have
 some kind of Web interfacing to Octave? Or, are you just trying to
 install the program somewhere else? If the latter, it is possible,
 provided you have permission somewhere to write the package to.

If a third part is hosting your web site, you need to ask them.

If the server is running Linux, it should be possible.

In some cases you are permitted and able to install software yourself from a
shell account (if you have one), in other cases they need to do it for you.
