Installation Problems ?

Forums

Dear All,

It seems that I ran into some very silly problem.

I downloaded "frealign_v9.08_140514.tar.gz" on my new MacPro and set it to /usr/local. Following the instruction for installation, I launched the command: tar -xzvf frealign_v9.08_140514.tar.gz which, created the folder frealign_v9.08. Going into the folder (cd frealign_v9.08) , I see the contents - README.txt bin src.

## When I type INSTALL - general install usage options are flashed. I fail to get the line to be put in the PATH variable.

In any case, I put the path in my bashrc file as

#Frealign

if [ "$PATH" ]; then
PATH=/usr/local/frealign_v9.08/bin:$PATH
else
PATH=/usr/local/frealign_v9.08/bin
fi
export PATH

I am unable to see any new commands when I use frealign_help.

Obviously I am missing something very basic. Any feedback will be helpful.

Thanks

I am not familiar with OSX but for bash shells I think you would have to add something like

export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/frealign_v9.08/bin

Also, for OSX you will have to recompile the binaries. The distributed binaries are compiled for Linux.
