Hola Juan Pablo, Yes, that helps a lot, I didn't know about "pkg -forge install ...".
On the other hand, what I wanted is to be able to *change* things in the control package code, and then use those changes. I may need to do some changes/development on the signal and control packages, that's why. Thanks, Jordi On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 6:23 PM, Juan Pablo Carbajal <carba...@ifi.uzh.ch> wrote: > Hi, > I may have not understood what you are trying to do, but in the latest > version of Octave you ca install directly from forge using the command > octave> pkg -forge install <package-name> > > Where <package-name> is the package you want to install > > You can get a list of the packages with > octave> pkg -forge list > > And your local versions > octave>pkg list > > If you want to install a compresse dpackage you downloaded you do > octave> pkg install <fullpath-to-package> > > Hope this helps > -- > M.
