Check if you have the documentations installed !

Depending on how you have to installed octave, you have to specify somehow to install also the documentations.

If you need more help, then provide more info, on how octave has been installed.

If you have installed through home-brew, try to reinstall it with with-docs option i.e.

brew reinstall octave --with-docs
