How do I run the self-contained version? #189

Closed sufyazi closed 1 year ago

sufyazi commented 1 year ago

Hi authors! Thank you for developing this neat little program. However, I have an problem that is not sufficiently documented in the program's wiki (at least not that I could find). I am not able to install .NET for the machine I am planning to run MSPC on because I would be working with a remote HPC cluster. I followed the instruction to install the self-contained version here https://genometric.github.io/MSPC/docs/installation/ but I am unsure as to how to run the program? There are only .pdb files in the generated directory. How do I invoke the command on CLI?

Hello @sufyazi.

Can you please try the following steps (I assume you're running on Linux Ubuntu): 

$ wget -O mspc.zip "https://github.com/Genometric/MSPC/releases/latest/download/linux-x64.zip"
$ unzip mspc.zip -d mspc
$ cd mspc
$ chmod 777 mspc
$ ./mspc --help

Hi @VJalili ! Thank you! The steps worked perfectly!

As a non-programmer scientist, the steps you outlined in the README was not clear for the self-contained installation (as I wasn't sure what the mspc file was in the unzipped directory and I couldn't find the .dll file which is used to invoke the program using dotnet). My suggestion is for you to add these steps in the wiki for future users who might not very tech-savvy like I am. 😄

Thanks again for this neat software. Feel free to close this issue.

Glad it worked. I updated the docs; I hope that clarifies.

I'm closing this issue, and please feel free to re-open it if it is still unclear.
