You got it started.
Now, type a command at the prompt, like
octave:1> help
or
octave:1> inv ([1,2;3,4])
Would it make you feel better if the window that comes up when you
click on the icon had the familiar [File] [Edit] ... [Help] buttons,
but you still had to type commands at a prompt? Would you have been
less confused if those buttons had appeared? This is a serious
question. Have we now arrived at a point where people can't use
software if it doesn't present thse buttons?
