I find using octave a bit confusing.
I see many packages around, but no idea how to install them. I see now package called octave-Forge
http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.php
But I do not see this listed on linux mint synaptic package manager.
it says to use command
pkg install file.tar.gz
but on linux mint, I see no command called pkg.
Is there a way to install all of octave packages? I really do not want to go download files myself from the net here and there, and with no help to tell one what functions are installed, this is not going to work for me.
What is the best way to install octave and have all
these packages there with help telling me what function is in each package?
thank you,
Robert
