If you are using MATLAB, please check
@uref{http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers} for supported compilers for
your MATLAB version on your operating system. After installing your compiler,
select it using @code{mex -setup} in Matlab and clicking on the required compiler.
Octave comes with built-in functionality for compiling mex-files.

@subsection On Windows
If you are using MATLAB under Windows, install a C++ compiler on your machine and configure it with
MATLAB. There are at least two free compilers you can use. First, there is Microsoft's Visual Studio
Community (@uref{https://www.visualstudio.com/}), which has the largest history of MATLAB support, but
requires much space on the hard-disk. Second, since MATLAB R2015b, MATLAB supports the MinGW-w64 C/C++
Compiler from TDM-GCC. To install this compiler, use the Add-Ons menu of MATLAB. Search for MinGW or
select it from Features.
For older version of MATLAB, in particular before R2014a, it may sometimes make sense to use the gcc compiler
provided by Cygwin. However, integrating it in MATLAB can be quite cumbersome and should be considered as a
legacy option. For details, see
@uref{http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/ConfigureMatlabWindowsForMexCompilation,instructions
on the Dynare wiki}.

@subsection On Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu
Users of MATLAB under Linux need to have a working compilation environment installed. If not already present,
it can be installed via @code{apt-get install build-essential}.

(under Debian or Ubuntu, it is called @file{liboctave-dev}).

a working @code{mex} command (see @ref{Compiler installation} for more

estimations, at the expense of some initial compilation
time.@footnote{In particular, for big models, the compilation step can
be very time-consuming, and use of this option may be counter-productive
