(Note that Octave does not automatically load installed packages, they must be manually loaded from within Octave by the user.) | Like many software programs, Octave uses ''packages'' to optionally extend and modify its capability.

Octave maintains a system-wide (or ''global'') package list, and a user-specific (or ''local'') package list. By default in Windows 10, local packages are located at {{Path|C:\Users\%USERNAME%\octave\}}. (The \octave folder will be created during the first package install\update if it is not already present.) The global packages are stored in {{Path|%OCTAVE_HOME%\mingw64\share\octave\packages\}}, and are available to all users on the machine. Specific locations on your system can be found by typing the following commands at the Octave command line: | Octave maintains a system-wide (or ''global'') package list, and a user-specific (or ''local'') package list.
