This video shows how to
1. Install MATLAB R2021a on Windows
2. Install Dynare 4.6.4 on Windows
3. Add the path of Dynare to MATLAB
4. Test whether everything is working

**Timestamps**

00:49 - Installing MATLAB R2021a
02:02 - Recommended MATLAB Toolboxes
03:22 - Installing Dynare 4.6.4
03:58 - Choose destination folder on local disk (don't use cloud storage folders or network drives)
05:23 - Create folder where to put your mod files on local disk (not cloud storage or network drive)
06:03 - Add Dynare to MATLAB's path via addpath (don't use GUI as this might mess up other computations you do in MATLAB)
06:15 - First check: just run dynare
06:36 - MATLAB preferences: add "mod" to files extensions for nicer code formatting in MATLAB's editor

**Hints & Corrections**

- Make sure you install Dynare and put your mod files on your local disk and not a cloud storage folder or a network drive.

Wonderfull videos, please @Willi in your blog, do you also show how to handle State space model with dynare?

Many thanks for your video!
I tried running example1 file and had the following

>> dynare example1
Starting Dynare (version 5.0).
Calling Dynare with arguments: none
Starting preprocessing of the model file ...
Found 6 equation(s).
Evaluating expressions...done
Computing static model derivatives (order 1).
Computing dynamic model derivatives (order 2).
Processing outputs ...
done
Preprocessing completed.

Unable to resolve the name example1.driver.

Error in dynare (line 281)
evalin('base', [fname '.driver']);

Could you please tell me what the problem is and how to fix? I am completely new in using dynare and Matlab. I'd appreciate your kind response.
