If instead you installed Octave from the .zip archive, you need first to rebuild the package list on your local machine. (The command above will produce a blank output and packages will be inaccessible before rebuilding.) Do this by typing the following command:
All packages can be updated to the latest version by running:
 
  >> pkg rebuild
 
The package list should now be populated with the pre-installed packages.  All packages can be updated to the latest version by running:
    
    
   >> pkg update
   >> pkg update
