Re: Symbolic package for Octave

[tmacchant]

Instruction from rocketsound 

********************************************************************************
1) Go to https://www.python.org/ and download Python 2.7.9 for Windows then
install it 
2) Open a terminal with admin rights (To do so open the start menu, enter
cmd, right-click the entry, and select "Run as administrator", confirm the
following dialog) 
3) Type pip install sympy (FYI: pip is the official package manager of
Python and it does all the magic for you. In this case it installs sympy, a
Python library that the symbolic toolbox depends on.) 
4) Next start Octave and type pkg install -forge -auto symbolic
5) (Type pkg help to learn more about Octave's package manager) 
*********************************************************************************

I have followed the instructions.  One thing is added
I add the path to C:\Python27 and C:\Python27\Scripts by control panel
before pip install.

On octave
pkg install -forge -auto -verbose symbolic

          symbolic *|   2.2.2 |
