Octave on Windows 10 Cannot install package with Forge

1.1k views Asked by At

I am trying to install a few packages with forge on octave. Unfortunately, each time I run

pkg install -forge communications

I got the following error message:

error: get_forge_pkg: could not read URL, please verify internet connection

It is very confusing for me at this point, and I have checked my Windows Firewall, and it is not blocking my Octave. I am wondering if there is anything I can do about it.

Thank you!

The last version of Octave is 4.2.0 now. Official Windows binary installer includes a lot of packages. Communications package are included too. You can resolve your problem by downloading installer for Windows - octave-4.2.0-w64-installer.exe download
