### Preparing the sources
If you have downloaded the sources from an official source archive or the source snapshot, just unpack it.
If you want to use Git, do the following from a terminal:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare.git
cd dynare
autoreconf -si
The last line runs Autoconf and Automake in order to prepare the build environment (this is not necessary if you got the sources from an official source archive or the source snapshot).
```sh
git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare.git
cd dynare
autoreconf -si
```
The last line runs Autoconf and Automake in order to prepare the build environment (this is not necessary if you got the sources from an official source archive or the source snapshot). If you want a certain version (e.g. 4.6) , then add `--single-branch --branch 4.6` to the git clone command.
### Configuring the build tree
Simply launch the configure script from a terminal:
```
```sh
./configure
```
If you have MATLAB, you need to indicate both the MATLAB location. For example, on GNU/Linux:
```
If you have MATLAB, you need to indicate the MATLAB location using the `with-matlab` flag. For example, on GNU/Linux:
```sh
./configure --with-matlab=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2019a
```
Some important options:
Alternatively, you can disable the compilation of MEX files for MATLAB with the `--disable-matlab` flag, and MEX files for Octave with `--disable-octave`.
- `--disable-matlab`: skip the compilation of MEX files for MATLAB
- `--disable-octave`: skip the compilation of MEX files for Octave
- `--disable-doc`: skip the compilation of the documentation (PDF and HTML)
- `CFLAGS="-O3" CXXFLAGS="-O3"`: don't compile the C/C++ programs with debugging information
- `MATLAB_MEX_CFLAGS="-O3" MATLAB_MEX_CXXFLAGS="-O3"`: remove debugging information for MATLAB MEX functions
You may need to specify additional options to the configure script, see the
output of the `--help` option, and also the platform specific instructions
below.
Note that if you don't want to compile the C/C++ programs with debugging information, you can specify the `CFLAGS` and `CXXFLAGS` variables to the configure script, such as:
```
./configure CFLAGS="-O3" CXXFLAGS="-O3"
```
To remove debugging information for MATLAB MEX functions, the analogous call would be:
```
./configure MATLAB_MEX_CFLAGS="-O3" MATLAB_MEX_CXXFLAGS="-O3"
```
If the configuration goes well, the script will tell you which components are
correctly configured and will be built.

Note that it is possible that some MEX files cannot be compiled, due to missing
build dependencies. If you find no way of installing the missing dependencies,
