Octave is not a package, octave is the actual program, you can't install it with the octave package system. The IO package requires that you use an later Octave version (which you should anyway since 3.6.2 is already out, you're quite out of date). Upgrade your octave version so you can install the IO package. By the way, you can install multiple packages at the same time with: pkg install -forge statistics io otherpkg yetanotherpkg etc Carnë ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
