I will be very grateful if someone can guide me to successfully install Octave packages.
I am running under ubuntu linux, I have Octave 4.0 installed. When I execute, from the terminal window,
java -version, I get:
openjdk version "1.8.0_171"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-8u171-b11-0ubuntu0.16.04.1-b11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode)
in Octave, this command
pkg list replies with this (no mention of java):
Package Name | Version | Installation directory
--------------+---------+-----------------------
io | 2.4.11 | /home/nhughes/octave/io-2.4.11
I am a mechanical engineer with rudimentary computer skills. I am at a loss as to what to try next. Any reply/help to
address@hidden will be greatly appreciated.
