Installation of dseries in Octave

Hello to all,

I am working with Dynare (Octave) on Mac. I installed Dynare following the instructions posted in Quick Start | Dynare using Homebrew. Dynare is working perfectly. On the other hand, with dseries (installed using ~$ git clone https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dseries.git) I am not able to use the X13 tools.

The other tools of the dseries package are working without any issue (e.g., dseries(randn(50, 3)) works fine). Here is the code and results

initialize_dseries_class
ts = dseries(randn(100,1))
x13(ts)

warning: X13 binary is not available.
If you are under Debian or Ubuntu, you can install it through your package manager, with ‘apt install x13as’.
If you are under Windows or macOS, this probably means that you did not install the dseries toolbox through an official package.

ts is a dseries object:

I am looking forward to any comments. Thank you very much.

This might be due to a PATH issue, see this workaround

Alternatively, follow these steps to Compile and install the X-13ARIMA-SEATS Seasonal Adjustment Program on macOS.

Thank you for your response, I used the second alternative and it worked.
