if you used the zip (or 7zip?) file of the windows version, you need to run:

pkg rebuild

the first time you run Octave so that it can create an internal list of all installed packages. the .exe installer takes care of this for the user, but the zip version does not.

Manish, please provide more information about what Octave you downloaded, what you tried, what you expected, and what you observed. Did you use the zip or the installer?

Try pkg install and pkg install -forge?

Greetings,

In the current version (4.0.1), when I downloaded it from OCTAVE - FORGE website, first of all, there was no need for installation, the moment i click on 'octave.vbs' file, OCTAVE started running. Secondly, the prebuilt packages are not running at all.

Please provide a method for this.

Regards,
Manish Kashyap
