+#  Installation on Linux, Unix

+
+to install the package. The command will take some time to complete.
+
+Running the package installation as non-privileged user installs the package for the user only.
+
+Running the package installation as root installs the package for all users.
+
+#  Installation on Windows
+
+Start GNU Octave, from the GNU Octave session run i.e.:
+
+~~~
+pkg install C:/Users/joe/Downloads/pgfplot-x.y.z.tar.gz

+
+Customize path and file name. The point is to use forward slashes instead of backslashes in the file name.
+
+Running the package installation as non-privileged user installs the package for the user only.
+
+Running the package installation with administrator privileges installs the package for all users. The recommended method is to use "Run as administrator" to start GNU Octave.
+
+#   DK tools
+
+Installation of the plpdftex program from the “Dirk Krauses tools” [dktools:wiki:Home] SourceForge project is recommended. The plpdftex program is an additional driver for the pgfplot package, it allows to create PDF+TeX and EPS+TeX file pairs. Without plpdftex the pgfplot package can create PGF files only, processing in latex/pdflatex takes longer for these files.
