pkg install 
command install package

If you use -forge option, you should not give file name.

Use 

pkg install -forge io


*********
However, this command only works octave-4.2.1 on windows because of change
web site URL style.  For octave 4.2.0 before, you should download package 
source file
(e.g. io-2.4.6.tar.gz) and place it to current directory (folder). 
and execute 

pkg install io-2.4.6.tar.gz
(do not add -forge option in this case.)
********* 


pkg load 

command to add package already installed to to the path.

After loading a package it is possible to use the functions provided by the 
package.


However, octave 4.0.1 or latter, many pre-build octave-forge packages are 
installed.
Thus usually it is not necessary to install octave-forge packages by "pkg 
install" command
You can see the list of packages by 


pkg list


Usually it is enough to use io package before use functions in io package.
pkg load io

After pkg load command, if you execute "pkg list io"

>> pkg list io
Package Name  | Version | Installation directory
--------------+---------+-----------------------
          io *|   2.4.6 | C:\octave\OCTAVE~1.1\share\octave\packages\io-2.4.6

* (asterisk) mark indicates that the package is added to the path.
