Not able to load and run a matlab file

[AntoineOctave]

Good evening! I'm quite new in SciLab and absolutely new in MatLab and I
encountered great difficulties to make a program from my course run on my
own Linux laptop, either on MatLab or on SciLab.

My question is how to run a matlab file on Octave or else on SciLab:

1. I downloaded a file into SciLab files called GainTunning Exercise with
several files within it and maybe one really important: runsim which allow
to simulate how does a drone flies.

It was purposed to be run on MatLab

On SciLab I did: runsim and then the absolute path:
/home/antoine/scilab-5.5.2/GainTuningExercise/runsim i still received
error2.

2. I was then directed to do it on Octave, I did the same but either I had a
syntax error:

octave:3> /home/antoine/scilab-5.5.2/GainTuningExercise/runsim
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> /home/antoine/scilab-5.5.2/GainTuningExercise/runsim
    ^

or nothing seemed to compile. I tried to edit the file but received the
error that emacs weren't found...

octave:4> edit runsim
octave:5> sh: 1: emacs: not found

I tried to follow  this link from fedora forums
<http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-270245.html>   but even
after creating the  plain text file in my home directory called .octaverc,
nothing changed. I even wasn't able to find any Octave files...

Can you help me make this file runsim MatLab file work?
