The GUI will be available in the next major release, which will be 3.8.0 or 
4.0.0, there is no GUI in 3.6.x.

You might be able to find some third-party hacks that add a GUI over Octave 
somewhere,
but most of them are abandoned and not fully functional.

Others have been able to download the ebook. If you can't you might find some 
info in the wiki at 
http://wiki.octave.org

you will have to make this question a bit more specific in order to get 
a viable answer.
