===Installation of the Octave package===


*Read <code>readme.txt</code> in <code>Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2_20111025.7z</code>
Please see the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave_Windows%20-%20MinGW/Octave%203.4.3%20for%20Windows%20MinGW%20Installer/ sourceforge page] for detailed install instructions.
*Unzip to a directory which doesn't have space chars i.e. <code>C:\Octave\Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2\</code> keeping the directory structure in the archive.
*Copy <code>octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2.lnk</code> to any convenient location and edit its properties respectively to point to <code>bin\octave.exe</code> and <code>share\octave\3.4.3\imagelib\octave-logo.ico</code>.
*Copy <code>octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2_docs.lnk<code> to any convenient location and edit its properties respectively to point to <code>doc\octave</code> and <code>share\octave\3.4.3\imagelib\octave-logo.ico</code>.


===Installation of the Octave-forge packages===
===Troubleshooting===
 
Upon launching, some warnings may be displayed. The following warnings can be ignored:
*Read <code>Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2_pkgs_readme.txt</code> in <code>Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2_pkgs_20111026.7z</code>.
*Following warning is about interpretation of logical operators (on scalars) in octave which is slightly different than matlab's interpretation.  
*In order to update octave_packages database and auto-load most packages (excluding 'ad' and 'windows' which may crash octave when loaded and 'clear all' is executed), launch Octave and execute:
        pkg rebuild -auto
        pkg rebuild -noauto ad windows
        pkg rebuild -auto java
 
*Last pkg rebuild command is required in order for the java pkg entry to be moved to the top of share\octave\octave_packages db file - thus java pkg is loaded before io pkg is loaded, and io pkg related jars are added to java class path.
*You can adjust your installed packages status per your specific needs and usage by executing one of the following commands:
*To interactively load or unload a package
        pkg load <pkg_name>
        pkg unload <pkg_name>
*To disable auto-load for specific pkg <pkg_name>
        pkg rebuild -noauto <pkg_name>
*To enable auto-load for specific pkg <pkg_name>
        pkg rebuild -auto <pkg_name>
*To completely uninstall a package
        pkg uninstall <pkg_name>     
 
===Notes===
*This archive doesn't contain any editor! In order to install Notepad++ (recommended) as an editor:
**download the installation package from http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
**install, edit <code><your octave dir>\share\octave\site\m\startup\octaverc</code>
**un-comment the line which sets octave default editor:
    EDITOR('C:\\Program Files\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe');
*Upon launching, some warnings may be displayed. The following warnings can be ignored:
