Issue with installing SPLASH

[cecile-meier-scherling]

Hello, I am trying to install SPLASH but am running into an error.

When I run the precompiled binaries:

curl -L https://github.com/refresh-bio/SPLASH/releases/download/v2.1.4/splash-2.1.4.linux.x64.tar.gz | tar xz
cd example
./run-example.sh

But I am running into the following issue, which seems to be in the subprocess.py:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/cmeiersc/Dropbox (Brown)/Brown/git/splash/example/../splash", line 264, in <module>
    p = subprocess.Popen(executable_path, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
  File "/Users/cmeiersc/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/subprocess.py", line 951, in __init__
    self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds,
  File "/Users/cmeiersc/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/subprocess.py", line 1821, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: '../satc'

In addition, when compiling SPLASH from the source with the following code:

git clone https://github.com/refresh-bio/splash
cd splash
make -j
sudo make install

However, I am getting the following issue and as a result splash is not completely installed:

Are there any installations I am missing?

Currently I am running the code as described above. I have also tried to run each individually and then run the example as described on the GitHub, but splash seems not to be installed.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions!

Hello thanks! What operating system are you using? Basing on the errors I assume this is MAC OS. Unfortunately, the current version only works on Linux (we have a not-yet-published version for MAC OS). Are you able to try SPLASH on Linux?

Hello @marekkokot, thank you for your response! Yes, I was able to install splash on Linux.
