Help with Octave, installing package

[MaxManus]

Hey, I need some help with installing a package in Octave. I have never done this before so I'm not sure what I am doing wronge. I have downloaded econometrics, changed directory and typed:
"pkg install econometrics-1.0.7.tar.gz" and I get

"""warning: implicit conversion from matrix to string
error: couldn't delete directory C:\Program Files\Octave\share\octave\packages\e
conometrics-1.0.7: Permission denied
error: called from `pkg:uninstall' in file C:\Program Files\Octave\share\octave\
3.0.3\m\pkg\pkg.m near line 930, column 2"""

You could try your package manager -Yum, Synaptic, YaST...- and search into repositories. It seems your problem is about permissions of the file and you can try chmod command. Anyway, you should give more information:

What distro are you using?
Version?
Hardware (RAM, processor...)?

Thanks for answearing, but I'm not sure what you mean with:

"You could try your package manager -Yum, Synaptic, YaST...- and search into repositories. It seems your problem is about permissions of the file and you can try chmod command."

I am new to Octave and I don't know much about computers in general.

I have Windows Vista, 3 GB ram, AMD Turion x2 64 2,1 GHz and using Octave 3.0.3
