Problem with installation on Mac Version 6.3

Hello,

I’m having a problem with the installation of Dynare 6.3 on my Mac Sequoia 15.3.2 on Matlab R2024a. Here is the screenshot of the error.

Can anybody help me?

Regards,

What does the log-file say?

Is it this one?

@wmutschl Any idea?

There is a Permission denied error, because you have older versions of Dynare installed in /Applications/Dynare that were installed with admin privileges, which we don’t require anymore for installation and we never required for running Dynare.

So, go into terminal.app and give your user access to /Applications/Dynare:

sudo chown -R "$USER":staff /Applications/Dynare 

This is also mentioned on the very first page of the installer :slight_smile:

Thank you both for your help!
