MuSiC installation on Mac, Module Genome error

Question

[TriS]

I followed the guide here and I was able to get almost to the end of the installation.

At the point where I have to install the Genome module with

sudo `which cpanm` -n http://apt.genome.wustl.edu/ubuntu/pool/main/g/genome/genome_0.80.1-3.tar.gz

I get the following error (from the log.file):

This tells me that there is a problem because of the word "Pro" from my MacBook Pro....however, I'm not sure how to fix this, any suggestions?

I did try to use --force but it made no difference...

Those instructions were tested on various Linux distributions, never on a Mac. One of the many differences between Linux and Mac OSX is how OSX allows a user-friendly ComputerName like "MacBooks MacBook Pro" that can contains spaces, while a linux hostname cannot. It doesn't perfectly fit your error message, but give it a shot. Run the following to change your Mac's ComputerName and HostName, and try again:

sudo scutil --set HostName "macbookpro"
sudo scutil --set ComputerName "macbookpro"

awesome, this trick worked.

I can also confirm that the approach described Installation of the MuSiC suite on unsupported Linux distributionsworks also on Mac.. with the addition of the above script in case ppl have the same error I had

thanks :)

Great! Glad to hear. And thanks for confirming Mac compatibility. :)

@Cyriac Kandoth I want to install genome-music followed your approach described Installation of the MuSiC suite on unsupported Linux distributions and almost finished. I met a problem when I install the Genome module with

sudo `which cpanm` -n http://apt.genome.wustl.edu/ubuntu/pool/main/g/genome/genome_0.80.1-3.tar.gz

The error is:

I want to install music on the Ubuntu 14.04. I don't know how to do.
