1. Software requirements

Packaged versions of Dynare are available for Windows® 98/NT/2000/XP/Vista, Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu, on Intel/AMD x86 architectures. Dynare should work on other systems and architectures, but some compilation steps are necessary in that case.

In order to run Dynare, you need at least one of the following:

  • Matlab® version 6.5 or above; note that no toolbox is needed by Dynare,

  • GNU Octave version 3.0.0 or above.
