[maker-devel] Maker installation fails for MacOSX

[Katherine Balasingham]

Hello!

I hope I am contacting the correct email - I have been trying to install Maker for a few days now on my Mac OSX version 10.14 Mojave.

It fails at the first few steps where it cannot install RepeatMasker, SNAP, or Exonerate. I have even tried to install these programs manually but Maker continues to fail to detect these packages or fails to install them properly. I did try using ./build package-name as well but to no avail. I ran ./Build installexes and ./Build installdeps but they constantly fail for those three programs only and I cannot find a solution online.

Could you provide me with the proper code to manually install these three programs so I can use Maker? I have checked online sources for these programs but then I run into the issue where configuring Maker does not seem to find these three programs if I install it separately, so I am stuck at this step.

Sorry for the long email I wanted to be explicit as I could be!

The error message I always get is:


ERROR: Failed installing RepeatMasker, now cleaning installation path...

You may need to install RepeatMasker manually.


Checking external program dependencies...

  requires:

    !  Exonerate is not installed

    !  SNAP is not installed

    !  RepeatMasker is not installed


ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES.  You may wish to install the programs

indicated above before proceeding with this installation.

Run 'Build installexes' to install missing prerequisites.



Sincerely,


Katherine Balasingham


PS: I have never installed these programs before at all so I do not have older versions interfering with Maker.
