Installing FastANI on local computer (Mac OSX) #48

Open cssulliv opened 5 years ago

cssulliv commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to install the latest FastANI release. I downloaded the tar.gz file just fine using this script: wget https://github.com/ParBLiSS/FastANI/releases/tag/v1.1/fastani-OSX64-v1.1.tar.gz. But when I try to run tar -zxvf fastani-OSX64-v1.1.tar.gz I get this error: tar: Unrecognized archive format tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

I am wondering if there is a missing script that I need to add?

I am still new to bioinformatics and would appreciate any help :)

Best, C

Can you try downloading by opening the above github link in your browser, and then double click the downloaded file?

Also, please watch out for this issue on macs.. you may need to make small adjustments in the README file. https://github.com/ParBLiSS/FastANI/issues/31#issuecomment-448170145

I tried to replicate this issue. If I point a web brower at https://github.com/ParBLiSS/FastANI/releases/tag/v1.1/fastani-OSX64-v1.1.tar.gz I get "This site can’t be reachedThe web page at https://github.com/ParBLiSS/FastANI/releases/tag/v1.1/fastani-OSX64-v1.1.tar.gz might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address."

However, if I click on the link to https://github.com/ParBLiSS/FastANI/releases/tag/v1.1/fastani-OSX64-v1.1.tar.gz in my previous comment, then it works just fine. Also, pointing browser at https://github.com/ParBLiSS/FastANI/releases/download/v1.1/fastani-OSX64-v1.1.tar.gz works just fine too and downloads the file that you are looking for.
