I see "It is also used as a plotting engine by third-party applications
like Octave" on that page, but it doesn't say you should install it
using Octave--and, indeed, you cannot.

That isn't the gnuplot tool, though.  According to the package
description from that page:

"Scripts to save data in gnuplot-readable formats, specify gnuplot
commands that will be used to produce graphics, and call gnuplot. See
help g_ez quickly produce the most common plots."

(Though I would argue that it is confusing to name the package just
"gnuplot")
