Hey @nagarjunvinukonda: The versions are probably about the same; sometimes, the versions in the apt-get repositories are a little behind the version in the main repository.
The main difference is that using
sudorequires, well, sudo/root access, while installing via the script can be done without root access. Thus, if you are in a computing environment where you don't have root access, sudo isn't possible.It's also a little easier if you need to install multiple versions of openblas for some reason (since the location of the versions is controlled explicitly, while the location of files from apt-get can be difficult to track).
