The AMT consists of the main code, third-party toolboxes and binaries. The easiest and recommended method is to use the "AMT full package", which contains all the required toolboxes and pre-compiled binaries. Download and unzip the "AMT full package" and start the AMT by executing:
amt_start;
Note that on Octave, the package io
is obligatory. If this package is not installed on your system, it will need to be installed, i.e., pkg install io
, even with the AMT full package.
Note also that the precompiled MEX files may be incompatible with your particular system. If you experience errors when calling models requiring binary files, configure the MEX compiler on your system and run
amt_mex;
to re-compile the MEX files for your system.
To get started with the "AMT code-only package", execute:
amt_start('install');This command will start the AMT, check if the toolboxes are available and offer the option to download and automatically install them on the fly. Then, binaries will be compiled for your system, if an appropriate compiler is available.
Note also that on Octave, the package io
is obligatory. If this package is not installed on your system, it will need to be installed, i.e., pkg install io
, before starting the AMT installation.
Previous releases of the AMT can be found on Sourceforge.
