Thanks for your prompt response. I can’t be totally sure, although I’ve let my MacAfee antivirus subscription lapse for a few days (stupid I know), so my guess is no?
I read another post telling the user to try running matlab as administrator. I’ve done this, and now I get a different error. When I type: dynare basic, I get the following:
dynare basic
Using 64-bit preprocessor
Starting Dynare (version 4.6.1).
Calling Dynare with arguments: none
ERROR: Could not open file: basic.mod
Error using dynare (line 282)
Dynare: preprocessing failed
That is an access problem that regularly happens if there are insufficient read/write permissions. That is often related to antivirus or admin restrictions.
I’ve deleted dynare, turned off all antivirus software, and redownloaded dynare. I’ve given full read/write permission to every user on my machine to every folder I can think of including the dynare folder, and all MATLAB folders. I am still getting the following error:
dynare basic
Using 64-bit preprocessor
Starting Dynare (version 4.6.1).
