To aid this sharing Octave supports the installation of extra packages. The `Octave-Forge' project is a community-maintained set of packages that can be downloaded and installed in Octave. At the time of writing the `Octave-Forge' project can be found online at <a href="http://octave.sourceforge.net">http://octave.sourceforge.net</a>, but since the Internet is an ever-changing place this may not be true at the time of reading. Therefore it is recommended to see the Octave website for an updated reference. <ul class="menu"> <li><a accesskey="1" href="Installing-and-Removing-Packages.html#Installing-and-Removing-Packages">Installing and Removing Packages</a> <li><a accesskey="2" href="Using-Packages.html#Using-Packages">Using Packages</a> <li><a accesskey="3" href="Administrating-Packages.html#Administrating-Packages">Administrating Packages</a> <li><a accesskey="4" href="Creating-Packages.html#Creating-Packages">Creating Packages</a> </ul> <p><a name="index-pkg-3354"></a> </body></html>
