+# Installing Dynare 4.7-beta3
+
+All participants to the Summer School should install a specific version of
+Dynare, numbered 4.7-beta3, as indicated below (depending on your operating
+system).
+
+Don’t hesitate to ask for help on the chat if you encounter problems.
+
+## For Windows
+
+We recommend that you install Dynare 4.7-beta3 via this
+[installer](https://www.dynare.org/beta/windows/dynare-4.7-beta3-win.exe).
+
+However, if you do not have the permission to execute installers on your
+machine, you can alternatively use a
+[ZIP](https://www.dynare.org/beta/windows-zip/dynare-4.7-beta3-win.zip) or
+[7z](https://www.dynare.org/beta/windows-7z/dynare-4.7-beta3-win.7z) archive.
+
+If you don’t have MATLAB, you will need to also install Octave 6.2.0, ideally via
+this
+[installer](https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/windows/octave-6.2.0-w64-installer.exe),
+or alternatively via a
+[ZIP](https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/octave/windows/octave-6.2.0-w64.zip) or
+[7z](https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/octave/windows/octave-6.2.0-w64.7z) archive.
+
+Here are some installation videos that might help (although for version 4.6.4):

+
+## For macOS
+
+If you have MATLAB, you can install Dynare 4.7-beta1 via this
+[installer](https://www.dynare.org/beta/macos/dynare-4.7-beta3.pkg).
+
+If you don’t have MATLAB, you will need to install Homebrew (including Octave),
+and compile Dynare from source, following these
+[instructions](https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare#macos). Note that for the
+section “Preparing the Dynare sources”, you should use this [source
+tarball](https://www.dynare.org/beta/source/dynare-4.7-beta3.tar.xz) instead of
+cloning from git. Here is a video how to do that:

+Here are some more installation videos that might help (although for version 4.6.4):

+
+## For GNU/Linux
+
+You need to compile Dynare from source, following these
+[instructions](https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare#general-instructions). For
+the section “Preparing the Dynare sources”, you should use this [source
+tarball](https://www.dynare.org/beta/source/dynare-4.7-beta3.tar.xz).
+
+Make also sure that you read the distribution-specific information that is
+given in subsequent sections (for [Debian or
+Ubuntu](https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare#debian-or-ubuntu); for [Fedora,
+CentOS or RHEL](https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare#fedora-centos-or-rhel)).
+
+Note that if you don’t have MATLAB, you will need to install Octave 6.2.0 (if
+the version of Octave shipped by your distribution is too old, you will have to
+compile it from source).
