Hi Phenix users, I am trying to install phenix in my Mac OS X and after getting the .tar file and running install i get this message (screen shot attached)
Please just send us a text dump next time - even the terminal app supports cut-and-paste.
Could anyone help the newbie?
Which installer did you download? Assuming it's the correct one, you probably need to cd into the installer directory so you can run "./install". I'm not certain that this is the problem, but it's the first thing to try. Also, you appear to be trying to install from a non-root account into /usr/local, which you probably don't have write permissions for. You should either run "sudo ./install", or add the "--prefix=" option to install into a directory you control (e.g. "./install --prefix=$HOME/software"). The next version will have additional disk-image based installers for Mac, which will allow you to avoid the command line entirely. (The current installation mechanism will still be possible, of course.) -Nat
