### 2.1 Software requirements

Packaged versions of Dynare are available for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10, Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu and macOS 10.8 or later. Dynare should work on other systems, but some compilation steps are necessary in that case.

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

- MATLAB version 7.5 (R2007b) or above (MATLAB R2009b 64-bit for macOS);
- GNU Octave version 4.2.1 or above.

Packages of GNU Octave can be downloaded on the Dynare website.

The following optional extensions are also useful to benefit from extra features, but are in no way required:

- If under MATLAB: the optimization toolbox, the statistics toolbox, the control system toolbox;
- If under GNU Octave, the following Octave-Forge packages: optim, io, statistics, control.
