Dynare version 4
|
||
|
|
================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For information about how to use Dynare, you should have a look at the
|
||
|
|
documentation located in the doc/ subdirectory of your Dynare installation (you
|
||
|
|
should have a shortcut in your Start Menu to access it directly).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Beginners should start with the Dynare userguide. There is also a complete
|
||
|
|
reference manual documenting all Dynare functions in manual/index.html (however
|
||
|
|
note that it is a bit outdated).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also get more information on the Dynare Wiki at:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://www.cepremap.cnrs.fr/DynareWiki
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also ask questions on the Dynare forums at:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://www.dynare.org
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that Dynare comes with an automated uninstaller, which you can run from
|
||
|
|
the "Add/Remove Programs" menu of the Control Panel.
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
Using Dynare with Matlab
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dynare requires Matlab version 6.5 or above. With older versions of Matlab, it
|
||
|
|
may fail or give unexpected results.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use Dynare, you just have to add the matlab/ subdirectory of your Dynare
|
||
|
|
installation to Matlab's path. You have two options for doing that:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use the addpath command, by typing something like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
addpath DYNARE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/matlab
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Matlab will not remember this setting next time you run it, and you will have
|
||
|
|
to do it again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Select the "Set Path" entry in the "File" menu, then click on "Add
|
||
|
|
Folder...", and select the matlab/ subdirectory of your Dynare
|
||
|
|
installation. Note that you SHOULD NOT use "Add with Subfolders...". Apply
|
||
|
|
the settings by clicking on "Save". Note that Matlab will remember this
|
||
|
|
setting next time you run it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can test your installation by typing "dynare" at the Matlab prompt. This
|
||
|
|
should give you an error message complaining that you did not specify a MOD
|
||
|
|
file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using Dynare with Octave
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dynare is now available for Octave, a free clone of Matlab (see
|
||
|
|
<http://www.octave.org>).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For installing Octave on your Windows system, go to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2888&package_id=40078
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then pick the "octave-3.0.1-vs2008-setup.exe" installer. Choose GNUplot
|
||
|
|
graphical backend (instead of JHandles) during installation. Also note that
|
||
|
|
this distribution contains a nice text editor, which you can invoke with "edit"
|
||
|
|
as you would under Matlab.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WARNING: the Octave binary distribution has a bug which makes Octave crash
|
||
|
|
everytime one types clear all (and therefore everytime one runs Dynare!). A
|
||
|
|
simple workaround is to type the following command the first time you run
|
||
|
|
Octave:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pkg rebuild -noauto ftp ann database
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every time you run Octave, you should type the two following commands:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
addpath DYNARE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/matlab mark_as_command dynare
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: if you don't want to type these two commands every time you run Octave,
|
||
|
|
you can put them in a file called ".octaverc" in your home directory (generally
|
||
|
|
"c:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\"). This file is run by Octave at every
|
||
|
|
startup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can test your installation by typing "dynare" at the Octave prompt. This
|
||
|
|
should give you an error message complaining that you did not specify a MOD
|
||
|
|
file.
