 1. Install XCode, which can either be installed from the [[http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html|web]] or from the installation discs that came with your Mac.

Install XCode 3, which can either be installed from the [[http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html|web]] or from the installation discs that came with your Mac.

This page documents the installation of the Dynare 4.2 Package on Mac OS X 10.5 or higher.

First steps

  1. Download the Dynare package for Mac OS X from Dynare website

  2. Install Dynare by double-clicking on the package and following the installation instructions
  3. The default installation folder is /Applications/Dynare/4.2.0, but you can modify it

MATLAB Setup

  1. Install XCode 3, which can either be installed from the web or from the installation discs that came with your Mac. This installs the necessary gcc compilers required by build_dynare.m in step 3. NB Do not install XCode 4 as the installation will not work (thanks to George Xing for pointing this out).

  2. In Matlab, change directory to the root folder of the Dynare installation directory. In the standard installation, you need to do:
    >> cd /Applications/Dynare/4.2.0
  3. At the Matlab prompt, run
    >> build_dynare
  4. Once this has finished running, go to File->Set Path... and add the path to the matlab/ subfolder under the installation folder. In the standard installation, this will be /Applications/Dynare/4.2.0/matlab. Save the changes before closing the window.

  5. If you have any troubles, please contact <houtan DOT bastani AT SPAMFREE ens DOT fr>

Octave Setup

  1. Download and install version 3.2.3 of the Octave Mac OS X binary and add /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin to your search path.

  2. If you are going to use the use_dll or k_order_perturbation options, add the following lines to the /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/mkoctfile-3.2.3 file after the set -e statement at the top of the file

    CFLAGS="-arch i386 ${CFLAGS}"
    FFLAGS="-arch i386 ${FFLAGS}"
    CPPFLAGS="-arch i386 ${CPPFLAGS}"
    CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 ${CXXFLAGS}"
    LDFLAGS="-arch i386 ${LDFLAGS}"
  3. Before excuting MOD files, you need to execute the following command at Octave prompt:
    addpath /Applications/Dynare/4.2.0/matlab

Documentation

Documentation can be found in the doc/ folder under the installation directory (the default is /Applications/Dynare/4.2.0/doc). The User Guide (located by default in /Applications/Dynare/4.2.0/doc/userguide/UserGuide.pdf) is a particularly helpful starting place. Errata for the User Guide can be found here.
