Hi everyone,
I would like to install the new odepkg into my octave installation.
I started octave by

sudo octave

Hey there rengglian

I think you should have seen the news("odepkg"). It states that it wont load the package automatically. You have to use the pkg load command everytime you need to use or set the option -auto while installing. Use help pkg for more info.

Hope this helps.
Cheers.
