1.2.3 installers for Mac and Linux are not archives

[mishaguy]

Hello,

When I download 1.23 for Mac and Linux from https://github.com/ccsb-scripps/AutoDock-Vina/releases, files come without tgz extensions. Adding tgz or tar.gz to file does not allow to open archive with tar. How to use these installers?

Thanks, Misha

I found out how to open it thanks

Sorry, I thought I figured it out by adding gz but clicking on Mac just makes it cpgz. How to open these files? thanks

Hi. They are not installers. These files are meant to be executed in the command line.

Hi Diogo,

Thanks for this.

Can I ask you not related question? Do you know if there is MGL Tools compiled for Catalina, and higher? For 64 bit Mac.

Best, Misha

MGLTools is a collection of tools, I don't know if they all work on Catalina, sorry. The autodock mailing list might know: https://autodocksuite.scripps.edu/support/

@diogomart , using Mac M1 and download the vina_1.2.2_macos_arm64 release, but I can't use it as an executable. Please, am I maybe forgetting something?

[diogomart]

@RomuloBarrosPI what error do you get?

[RomuloBarrosPI]

@RomuloBarrosPI what error do you get?

@diogomart , thanks so much for your attention.

I get an error message saying there is no application set to opening the document “vina_1.2.2_macos_arm64”.

So it is like mac is seeing it as a simple document and not as an executable file.

[diogomart]

You need to run it from the command line, i.e. ./vina_1.2.2_macos_arm64. You may need to give permission to execute with the chmod command. If you are not familiar with the command line, this linux tutorial may help.

[RomuloBarrosPI]

This is just awesome. It almost did it!

I typed this:chmod 777 ./vina_1.2.2_macos_arm64, and then ./vina_1.2.2_macos_arm64. Had to tweak Mac's System Secutiry & Privacy to allow it to run.

It ran, but I got this error: '/usr/local/lib/libboost_system.dylib' (no such file)

I gonna keep trying.

[RomuloBarrosPI]

Wow!! Got it @diogomart !

just running brew install boost did the job!

Thank you so much for your help! This may also help others with the same problem on a Mac M1 and M2 processors.

[diogomart]

Awesome!
