Take the following steps: \begin{enumerate} -\item Grab Dynare++ package from Dynare site either for Windows or for - Linux according to your operating system.\footnote{If unsure, - download the one for Windows.} -\item Unzip or untar the package to a directory of your choice. -\item Set operating system path to point to {\tt - dynare++-*.*}\footnote{Stars stand for a version number.} - subdirectory of the directory you have chosen. In Windows, this step - ensures that libraries distributed along Dynare++ are on the - path. This step is not really necessary in Linux. +\item Add the {\tt dynare++} subdirectory of the root Dynare installation directory to the your +operating system path. This ensures that your OS will find the {\tt dynare++} executable. \item If you have Matlab and want to run custom simulations (see \ref{custom}), then set the Matlab path to the path from the previous step. \end{enumerate} -Dynare++ uninstall procedure is even more simple.
