OK, good to know. This is not very obvious, because it is neither documented here https://octave.sourceforge.io/parallel/ or here http://wiki.octave.org/Parallel_package.

I would need the parallel package on windows to execute the matlab based script from this paper on my PC at work: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25333967

This is expected. No functionality in the 'parallel' package works on Windows, except with Cygwin. 'parallel' is based on the 'fork' system call, which is lacking in Windows. To make 'parallel' work on Windows (except with Cygwin), a complete redesign of the package would be necessary.

I've downloaded Octave 4.2.0 on Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) and installed the packages

>> pkg list

Package Name | Version | Installation directory
--------------+---------+-----------------------
control | 3.0.0 | ...\Desktop\octave-4.2.0-w64\share\octave\packages\control-3.0.0
image | 2.6.1 | ...\Desktop\octave-4.2.0-w64\share\octave\packages\image-2.6.1
optics | 0.1.3 | ...\Desktop\octave-4.2.0-w64\share\octave\packages\optics-0.1.3
signal | 1.3.2 | ...\Desktop\octave-4.2.0-w64\share\octave\packages\signal-1.3.2
struct | 1.0.14 | ...\Desktop\octave-4.2.0-w64\share\octave\packages\struct-1.0.14
video | 1.2.3 | ...\Desktop\octave-4.2.0-w64\share\octave\packages\video-1.2.3

After that I've tried to install parallel-3.1.1.tar.gz. But this doesn't work.

>> pkg install parallel-3.1.1.tar.gz
