I'd suggest you to follow these steps since they include using package
managers so it's way more easy for you to get updates on your system at a
later point of time:

1) Go to https://www.python.org/ and download Python 2.7.9 for Windows then
install it
2) Open a terminal with admin rights (To do so open the start menu, enter
/cmd/, right-click the entry, and select "Run as administrator", confirm the
following dialog)
3) Type /pip install sympy/ (FYI: pip is the official package manager of
Python and it does all the magic for you. In this case it installs sympy, a
Python library that the symbolic toolbox depends on.)
4) Next start Octave and type /pkg install -forge -auto symbolic/
5) (Type /pkg help/ to learn more about Octave's package manager)

That's it.

In Octave you can type /pkg upgrade/ from time to time and if there is an
update for the symbolic toolbox Octave will automatically install it for
you.

You can follow the development of the symbolic toolbox here
https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy, the main package maintainer is very
active.
