Sorry for the delay.

Unpack the zip file.  Run Octave and change to the "inst" directory 
(from inside the zip file).  Type "syms x".

There is also a "Maintainers Makefile" which can build the package for 
you from the sources, run tests, etc.

Note: I've never actually done this from those zip files (I think they 
are automatically generated by github).  So if the above doesn't work, 
try a "git clone" instead.  This also makes it easier to send all your 
wonderful improvements back to us ;-)
