couldn't create installation directory /usr/share/octave/packages/gnuplot-1.0.1 : Permission denied

You either need root permission, or you need to instal the package locally - you need to modify the command:

pkg install -local gnuplot-1.0.1.tar.gz
.

it is clear "you are not authorized"

two options:
- use a user identity with privilege (root ?)
- "pkg install -local gnuplot-1.0.1.tar.gz" to install
    only for current user
