installing older versions of gem-mapper #34

Closed AprilJauhal closed 5 months ago

AprilJauhal commented 5 months ago

Hello, I tried running the binaries for the older version of gem-mapper from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gemlibrary/ and have been unsuccessful. I wasn't able to get any of the linux binaries to work locally via ubuntu or on my computing cluster. I checked and both are i3-compatible. When I try to run gem-mapper it simply says that the command is not found, even when I am in the bin directory containing the file. Is there any way I can still access the pre-GEM3 versions of gem-mapper?

Thank you!

Hi, can you share the precise commands you have executed (from downloading the binaries to their execution). I'm sure we can find a solution. Thanks,

Thank you, here is what I attempted. I downloaded the compressed files through the browser.

$ tar -xvjf GEM-binaries-Linux-x86_64-core_i3-20130406-045632.tbz2 $ cd GEM-binaries-Linux-x86_64-core_i3-20130406-045632/bin $ gem-mapper

Result was"gem-mapper: command not found," I also tried gem-mapper -h and gem-mapper --help

Ok, try this and let me know: $ ./gem-mapper

That worked! However, I need to be able to add the binary to $PATH so that I can run gem-mapper as a dependency. Do you have any suggestions for that?

The classic: $ export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/gem/
