First steps

  1. Download the appropriate Dynare package for your version of Mac OS X from the Dynare website

  2. Install Dynare by double-clicking on the package and following the installation instructions

  3. The default installation folder is /Applications/Dynare/4.2.1, but you can modify it

  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/4.2.1
  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/4.2.1/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/4.2.1/matlab

Documentation

Documentation can be found in the doc/ folder under the installation directory (the default is /Applications/Dynare/4.2.1/doc). The User Guide (located by default in /Applications/Dynare/4.2.1/doc/userguide/UserGuide.pdf) is a particularly helpful starting place. Errata for the User Guide can be found here.
