title: Octave - How to install packages on Windows
body: <h1>Question</h1>
  
  <p>Due to the issue in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41687341">Fix for Octave urlread causing Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates</a>, I cannot install Octave packages on Windows. </p>
  
  <p>Please suggest other ways to install. Particularly I would like to go through <a href="http://www2.math.umd.edu/~jmr/241/gradients.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Gradients, Gradient Plots and Tangent Planes</a> which requires Symbolic package.</p>
