## macOS
Dynare supports both Intel and Apple Silicon chips and is compiled from source
using a [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) toolchain. However, if you have a *M1*, *M1 PRO*
or *M1 MAX* processor, you need to make sure that you are not using the ARM
Homebrew packages. This is due to the fact that although MATLAB runs natively on
Intel, it is not yet available in an ARM version and therefore must be run with the
Intel compatibility layer called Rosetta 2. Accordingly, if you are on Apple Silicon
you need to compile Dynare under Rosetta 2 as well and use the Intel packages from
Homebrew. You can check this by e.g. running `which brew` which should point to
`/usr/local/bin/brew` and not to `/opt/homebrew/bin/brew`. In the steps below, we
create a temporary alias to ensure that `brew` points to the Intel packages.
using a [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) toolchain. If you have an Apple silicon processor
(*M1/M2 PRO/MAX/ULTRA*), you can compile Dynare both for Intel's `x86_64` (using Rosetta 2)
as well as Apple's native `arm64` platform by using the corresponding Homebrew packages.
If you have an Intel chip you can only compile for `x86_64`.
For the following steps open Terminal.app and enter the commands listed below.
You can check the platform of your current Homebrew installation by e.g. running
`which brew` which should point to `/opt/homebrew/bin/brew` for `arm64` and to
`/usr/local/bin/brew` for `x86_64` systems. In the steps below, we
create a temporary environment variable `BREWDIR` to ensure that the correct packages are used.
The following commands install all requirements and Dynare from source.
They should be entered at the command prompt in Terminal.app.
### Preparatory work
- Install the Xcode Command Line Tools:
```sh
xcode-select --install
```
- Install Rosetta 2 (Apple Silicon only):
```sh
softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
```
- Install the Xcode Command Line Tools:
- Install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
Create environment variables for which platform you want to compile for, i.e. either `arm64` or `x86_64`:
For `arm64` run the following commands:
```sh
xcode-select --install
export ARCH=arm64
export BREWDIR=/opt/homebrew
```
- Install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
For `x86_64` run the following commands:
```sh
arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
export ARCH=x86_64
export BREWDIR=/usr/local
```
The prefix `arch -x86_64` makes sure that you are using Rosetta 2 to install Homebrew.
- Apple Silicon only: Make a (temporary) alias to run `brew` under Rosetta 2:
Install Homebrew using the environment variables:
```sh
alias brew='arch -x86_64 /usr/local/bin/brew'
which brew
#brew: aliased to arch -x86_64 /usr/local/bin/brew
arch -$ARCH /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```
The prefix `arch -arm64` or `arch -x86_64` makes sure that you are installing the correct packages.
Don't forget to run the displayed commands (**Next steps**) in the terminal to add Homebrew to your PATH.
- Install required Homebrew packages and link sphinx-doc:
If you have both Homebrew installations installed, make sure that you are accessing the correct packages by temporarily (!) prepending it to the path:
```sh
brew install automake bison flex boost gcc gsl libmatio veclibfort octave sphinx-doc wget
brew link --force sphinx-doc
export PATH="$BREWDIR/bin:$PATH"
```
- Install [MacTeX](http://www.tug.org/mactex/index.html) using the universal installer. MacTeX runs natively on both ARM and Intel machines. On Apple Silicon, we need to put `pdflatex` and `bibtex` into our path:
- Install required Homebrew packages:
```sh
ln -s /Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex /usr/local/bin/pdflatex
ln -s /Library/TeX/texbin/bibtex /usr/local/bin/bibtex
arch -$ARCH $BREWDIR/bin/brew install automake bison flex boost gcc gsl libmatio veclibfort octave sphinx-doc wget git-lfs
```
Alternatively, if you don’t want to install MacTeX, you should pass the `--disable-doc` flag to the `configure` command below.
If you are installing `git-lfs` for the first time, you need to run `git lfs install` once after installing it.
- Install MATLAB and additional toolboxes. We recommend, but don't require, the following: Optimization, Global Optimization, Statistics and Machine Learning, Econometrics, and Control System. As there is no ARM version of MATLAB yet, Rosetta 2 will be used on Apple Silicon machines. Don't forget to run MATLAB at least once to make sure you have a valid license.
- Link the sphinx-doc package to be able to compile the documentation:
```sh
arch -$ARCH $BREWDIR/bin/brew link --force sphinx-doc
```
- Compile and install SLICOT, needed for the `kalman_steady_state` MEX file.
- Install [MacTeX](http://www.tug.org/mactex/index.html) using the universal installer, if you want to build the documentation. MacTeX runs natively on both ARM and Intel machines. On Apple Silicon, it is advised to symlink `pdflatex`, `bibtex` and `latexmk` into `/usr/local/bin`:
```sh
mkdir -p $HOME/dynare/slicot
cd $HOME/dynare/slicot
wget https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/slicot/slicot_5.0+20101122.orig.tar.gz
sudo ln -s /Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex /usr/local/bin/pdflatex
sudo ln -s /Library/TeX/texbin/bibtex /usr/local/bin/bibtex
sudo ln -s /Library/TeX/texbin/latexmk /usr/local/bin/latexmk
```
If you don't have admin privileges, then you can also symlink them into `$HOME/.local/bin` and add this folder to your PATH.
If you don’t want to install MacTeX, you should pass the `--disable-doc` flag to the `configure` command below.
- Install MATLAB and additional toolboxes.
We recommend, but don't require, the following: Optimization, Global Optimization, Statistics and Machine Learning, Econometrics, and Control System.
For Apple Silicon: MATLAB offers a native Apple silicon version (arm64) as of version R2023b, see [the official instructions](https://de.mathworks.com/support/requirements/apple-silicon.html) how to install it.
You can also run the Intel version (x86_64) under Rosetta 2.
Don't forget to run MATLAB at least once to make sure you have a valid license.
- Create a folder for Dynare and its dependencies
```sh
export DYNAREDIR=$HOME/dynare
```
- Compile and install SLICOT
```sh
mkdir -p $DYNAREDIR/slicot/lib
cd $DYNAREDIR/slicot
curl -O https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/slicot/slicot_5.0+20101122.orig.tar.gz
tar xf slicot_5.0+20101122.orig.tar.gz
cd slicot-5.0+20101122
make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) FORTRAN=gfortran OPTS="-O2" LOADER=gfortran lib
cp slicot.a /usr/local/lib/libslicot_pic.a
make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) FORTRAN=$BREWDIR/bin/gfortran OPTS="-O2" LOADER=gfortran lib
cp slicot.a $DYNAREDIR/slicot/lib/libslicot_pic.a
make clean
make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) FORTRAN=gfortran OPTS="-O2 -fdefault-integer-8" LOADER=gfortran lib
cp slicot.a /usr/local/lib/libslicot64_pic.a
cd $HOME/dynare
make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) FORTRAN=$BREWDIR/bin/gfortran OPTS="-O2 -fdefault-integer-8" LOADER=gfortran lib
cp slicot.a $DYNAREDIR/slicot/lib/libslicot64_pic.a
```
- Compile and install the X-13ARIMA-SEATS Seasonal Adjustment Program
```sh
mkdir -p $HOME/dynare/x13as
cd $HOME/dynare/x13as
mkdir -p $DYNAREDIR/x13as
cd $DYNAREDIR/x13as
curl -O https://www2.census.gov/software/x-13arima-seats/x13as/unix-linux/program-archives/x13as_asciisrc-v1-1-b60.tar.gz
tar xf x13as_asciisrc-v1-1-b60.tar.gz
sed -i '' 's/-static//g' makefile.gf
make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) -f makefile.gf FC=gfortran LINKER=gfortran FFLAGS="-O2 -std=legacy" PROGRAM=x13as
cp x13as /usr/local/bin/x13as
cd ;
make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) -f makefile.gf FC=$BREWDIR/bin/gfortran LINKER=$BREWDIR/bin/gcc-13 FFLAGS="-O2 -std=legacy" LDFLAGS=-static-libgcc LIBS="$BREWDIR/lib/gcc/current/libgfortran.a /$BREWDIR/lib/gcc/current/libquadmath.a" PROGRAM=x13as
sudo cp $DYNAREDIR/x13as/x13as /usr/local/bin/x13as
cd $DYNAREDIR
x13as
```
Alternatively, if you don't have admin privileges you can install it into `$HOME/.local/bin` and add this folder to your PATH.
### Compile Dynare from source
The following commands will download the Dynare source code and compile
it. They should be entered at the command prompt in Terminal.app from the
folder where you want Dynare installed. Apple Silicon: make sure `brew`
points towards `/usr/local/bin/brew` (see above).
folder where you want Dynare installed.
- Prepare the Dynare sources for the unstable version:
```sh
mkdir -p $HOME/dynare/unstable
git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare.git $HOME/dynare/unstable
cd $HOME/dynare/unstable
arch -x86_64 autoreconf -si
git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare.git $DYNAREDIR/unstable
cd $DYNAREDIR/unstable
arch -$ARCH autoreconf -si
```
You can also choose a specific version of Dynare by checking out the corresponding branch or a specific tag with git.
If you want a certain version (e.g. 5.x) , then add `--single-branch --branch 5.x` to the git clone command.
- Configure Dynare from the source directory:
```sh
arch -x86_64 ./configure CC=gcc-13 CXX=g++-13 CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib LEX=/usr/local/opt/flex/bin/flex YACC=/usr/local/opt/bison/bin/bison --with-matlab=/Applications/MATLAB_R2021b.app
arch -$ARCH ./configure CC=gcc-13 CXX=g++-13 CPPFLAGS=-I$BREWDIR/include LDFLAGS=-L$BREWDIR/lib LEX=$BREWDIR/opt/flex/bin/flex YACC=$BREWDIR/opt/bison/bin/bison --with-slicot=$DYNAREDIR/slicot --with-matlab=/Applications/MATLAB_R2023b.app
```
where you need to adapt the path to MATLAB. If you don’t have MATLAB, simply replace `--with-matlab=<…>` by `--disable-matlab`. Check the output of the command whether Dynare is configured for building everything except the internal docs of Dynare, Dynare++ and M2HTML.
- Compile:
```sh
arch -x86_64 make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
arch -$ARCH make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
```
If no errors occured, you are done. Dynare is now ready to use.
### Optional: pass the full PATH to MATLAB to run system commands
If you start MATLAB from a terminal, you will get the PATH inherited from the shell. However, when you click on the icon in macOS, you are not running at the terminal: the program is run by launcher, which does not go through a shell login session. You get the system default PATH which includes `/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin`, but not `/usr/local/bin` or `$HOME/.local/bin`. So if you want to use system commands like `pdflatex` or `x13as` you should either call them by their full path (e.g `/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex`) or append the PATH in MATLAB by running `setenv('PATH', [getenv('PATH') ':/usr/local/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:/Library/TeX/texbin']);`. Alternatively, you can create a `startup.m` file or change the system default PATH in the `/etc/paths` file.
- If you additionally want to compile the documentation run:
```sh
arch -$ARCH make pdf html
```
Tested on
- macOS Monterey 12.1 (Apple M1 Virtual Machine)
- macOS Monterey 12.1 (MacBook Air Intel)
- macOS Monterey 12.1 (MacBook Air M1)
### Optional: pass the full PATH to MATLAB to run system commands
If you start MATLAB from a terminal, you will get the PATH inherited from the shell.
However, when you click on the application icon in macOS, you are not running at the terminal level:
the program is run by launcher, which does not go through a shell login session.
In other words, you get the system default PATH which includes `/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin`, but not `/usr/local/bin` or `$HOME/.local/bin`.
So if you want to use system commands like `pdflatex`, `latexmk` or `x13as` you should either call them by their full path (e.g `/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex`)
or append the PATH by running `setenv('PATH', [getenv('PATH') ':/usr/local/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:/Library/TeX/texbin']);` in your MATLAB command line once,
e.g. by adding this to your mod file. Alternatively, you can create a `startup.m` file or change the system default PATH in the `/etc/paths` file.
