Issues while installing

[jcohenadad]

i followed the instructions and got this:

julien-macbook:~/code/ghsplit $ make install
rm -rf ./*.egg-info
rm -rf tmp
pip install --user -e .

rm -rf tmp
mkdir tmp
Generating some large files..
dd if=/dev/random of=tmp/large_binary.bin bs=1M count=122
dd: bs: illegal numeric value
make: *** [test] Error 1

Maybe related to the fact that i'm using conda's python by default?

dd: bs: illegal numeric value

That probably has to do with the version of dd. It's not critical

$  dd --version
dd (coreutils) 8.32

?? I think this is some kind of unrelated environment issue.

Maybe. Is this how you pip install stuff usually?

julien-macbook:~/code/ghsplit $ ghsplit -bash: ghsplit: command not found

Can you try pip install -e . (instead of pip install --user -e . which is what the Makefile does). Maybe there is some macos magic that I don't understand.

Ok I will tweak the instructions + Makefile to let user decide their installation type. --user is usually a good practice to separate system installed packages from user installed packages.
