octave: Using Packages

 
 37.2 Using Packages
 ===================
 
 By default installed packages are not available from the Octave prompt,
 but it is possible to control this using the ‘pkg load’ and ‘pkg unload’
 commands.  The functions from a package can be added to the Octave path
 by typing
 
      pkg load package_name
 
 where ‘package_name’ is the name of the package to be added to the path.
 
    In much the same way a package can be removed from the Octave path by
 typing
 
      pkg unload package_name
