Description

I am new with Octave. I recently installed Octave 6.2.0.

I want to use Dyanre 4.6.4with it on a Mac running 12.0.1.

When try to install packages to run Dynare I get the following message:

Looks like you might not have Xcode or the Xcode Command Line Tools installed. Those are required to compile programs on macOS, including Octave packages which have native extensions. Try running sudo xcode-select --install from the Terminal to install the Xcode CLT, and then restart Octave.app and try installing this package again.
