error: tf' function belongs to the control package from Octave Forge which you have installed but not loaded

i'm doing a program in octave in which i got

t=0:.0002:20;

Gs=tf(100,[1 10])

u1=sin(t);

y1=lsim(Gs,u1,t);

plot(t,9.95*sin(t-0.1),’r’,t,y1,’b’)

However when i write Gs=tf(100,[1 10]) in the command window it appears "warning: the 'tf' function belongs to the control package from Octave Forge which you have installed but not loaded. To load the package, run 'pkg load control' from the Octave prompt." How can i load this package? I trully can't understand it... enter image description here

enter image description here

When i load it it appears:

pkg load control warning: addpath: C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.0\mingw64\share\octave\packages\control-3.2.0: No such file or d irectory warning: called from load_packages_and_dependencies at line 48 column 5 load_packages at line 47 column 3 pkg at line 461 column 7

In the octave terminal, type

pkg load control

To load the control package. If you do not already have the control package installed, you need to install it. You can do so directly from Octave Forge by typing

pkg install -forge control

Note that this will install this package in your predefined 'prefix'. You can find where that is by typing

pkg prefix

If you're not sure if you have the control package installed, you can check the list of already installed packages by typing

pkg list

Type help pkg to see more details about how octave's package manager works.

In any case, the tf function belongs to the control package, and like all packages, you need to load it before you can use its functions.

Having said this, even after loading the control package, your above code doesn't work. It seems like you're calling the tf function using the wrong format.
