Tip: If you're updating your gretl installation it may be advisable to delete the old version of gretl before installing the new one.

Installing gretl

Here's the drill:

1. Click to download either the latest release or the 'snapshot' (above). Theselected gretl package file should appear in your Downloads after a shortwhile, or it may be opened by the Mac Installer program right away.If the package is not opened automatically, minimize your browser window soyou can see what's happening on your desktop, then double-click on the gretlfile in Downloads to open the installer. Either way, you should then bewalked through the installation process.

2. Navigate to Applications in the Finder and you should now see a gretlicon there. Double-clicking should start gretl. On its first run gretlmay take a while to start, as it scans the fonts available on yoursystem. Assuming gretl starts OK, you can drag its icon from Applicationsonto the dock to get a quick-launcher.

3. Clean up: the installer (pkg) file canbe moved to the Trash once installation is completed.

Apple security issues

If you're downloading gretl from this site you can be confident that theinstaller contains no malware. However, Apple's security measures may blockinstalling and/or running gretl. In that case what you have to do depends onwhether you're running macOS 10.15 ('Catalina') or higher, or an earlier version.

• If your macOS is earlier than Catalina, the discussion (with screenshots)at therampagedevblog should tell you what you need to know.

• If you're running Catalina or higher, here's a step-by-step HOWTO.

  1. Open System Preferences and navigate to 'Security & privacy'. Select the General tab. We'll come back to this window shortly.

  2. Double-click the gretl .pkg file. You'll get a message 'gretl-quartz.pkg can't be opened because Apple cannot check it ...'. Click OK to close the window.

  3. In the tab mentioned in item 1 you will see a message with a button Open Anyway: click that button.

  4. Double-click the gretl pkg file again. Now you'll get the same window as in item 2, but with two buttons: Open and Cancel. Click Open and gretl will be installed.

Optional extras

You may wish to install X-13-ARIMA-SEATS and/or TRAMO/SEATS. These are specialized programs foranalysis of seasonal time series data, in versions compatible with gretl. Butplease note: the TRAMO/SEATS package below contains a 32-bit programwhich will not run on macOS Catalina or higher. We will provide a 64-bitversion of TRAMO/SEATS if and when we can.

Is a cross-platform software package for econometric analysis, written in the C programming language. It is free, open-source software.You may redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNUGeneral Public License (GPL) as published bythe Free Software Foundation.

Whether you're compiling from source or installing a pre-compiled binary,you may want/need to check out gretl's dependencies.

Downloader For Mac

Gretl for MS Windows can be found here,and gretl for Mac OS X here.

The time-series analysis programs X-12-ARIMA and TRAMO/SEATS are available in a form suitable for use with gretl on Linux, as follows.

Gnuplot

Gretl calls gnuplot to generate graphs. We require gnuplotversion 5.0 (released in January 2015) or higher. Seegnuplot.sourceforge.net.The gretl packages for MS Windows and OS X include a gnuplot versionthat works well with gretl. For guidance on installing current gnuploton Linux, please look here.

Getting help, reporting bugs

If you use gretl you may wish to join thegretl-users mailing list.This is a moderate-volume list where people request and offer help, discussnew features and so on.There's also a gretl-announce list;this is a read-only list which sends out announcements on the occasion of new releases ofgretl.

You can submitbug reportsandfeature requestsusing the SourceForge Tracker system.

Contributing to gretl

Do you have ideas or code that you'd like to contribute to gretl? If so,we'd be very pleased to hear from you. You should probably join thegretl-devel mailinglist.

The most obvious way of contributing your expertise to gretl development is by writing a function package (using gretl's scripting language, hansl). You can see a listing of current packages here. A quick Guide to producing function packages is available (thanks, Stefano Fachin!).

If by any chance you're a C coder then contributions to the underlying gretl library would also be welcome. The only non-negotiable requirement on C code that can be contributed to gretl is that you must be willing to have it appear under the GNU General Public License (GPL), that is, you must be comfortable with having the source released.

Git access and browsing

You can find the gretl git repositoryhere.Notes on basic usage of git are availablehereand full documentation atgit.scm.com.
