Installing STARsolo on M1 mac

Bioinformatics is not my area of expertise, so I'm sorry for the basic question.

I'm now trying to analyze my 10x scRNA-seq data using STARsolo according to the tutorial below, but facing problems at a very basic level. https://github.com/alexdobin/STAR/blob/master/README.md

I executed the following command, but I got an error message. wget https://github.com/alexdobin/STAR/archive/2.7.11b.tar.gz tar -xzf 2.7.11b.tar.gz cd STAR-2.7.11 cd source make STARforMacStatic CXX=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/14.0.0/bin/g++

I checked my gcc version as follows; gcc --version Apple clang version 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.202) Target: arm64-apple-darwin21.6.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

I'm conducting the experiment using Mac PC (Apple M1 Max). I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some advice.

Sincerely,

Compiling STAR from source on Mac may be tricky. I would recommend using the precompile binary or getting it from conda.

Thank you very much for your kind advice. I was able to install it successfully via conda.
