Sorry if my question wasn't that clear.
I thought Octave packages are equal to Matlab toolboxes and I was
wondering how Matlab packages are represented in Octave?

equal no, but similar in concept, yes, except they are free, and do not come preinstalled by default to avoid clutter. The links I sent have instructions for installation etc.

Virtually all of the packages available are in OctaveForge. You will find there are some that do the same as some Matlab Toolboxes, but you would have to investigate them yourself to see what meets your needs.

I think that what Reza meant with "package" is a +-folder, which is more like a namespace. There is partial support for packages in the classdef branch. What is not implemented yet is support for "import".
