Hi everyone,
I am new in this area, but cant even successfully install METAL in our server but failed to do so.
I downloaded the source version (latest one from 2011) from the official website using wget
and then I unzip it with gunzip tar -xvf <filename>
after that I tried to follow the instructions given from the below https://github.com/statgen/METAL
unfortunately I couldnt execute the second command line. cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
it pops up an error message like this :
Command 'cmake' not found, but can be installed with:
snap install cmake # version 3.17.3, or
apt install cmake
See 'snap info cmake' for additional versions.
I am really stuck at this step and my colleagues cant help hope someone can help here !!! much appreciated!
You need a compiler to build the binaries from the source code. In this case, you need
cmake
, which you appear not to have installed.Take a look here: https://cmake.org/download/
You can download pre-compiled Mac binaries, or compile from source (using a different compiler).
thanks a lot !
I am downloading it now...
unfortunately, same message still appeared... I downloaded cmake folder inside the metal folder and 'mkdir' build in that folder as well
I also run the boostrap
error message while I called 'cmake'
Command 'cmake' not found, but can be installed with:
snap install cmake # version 3.17.3, or apt install cmake
See 'snap info cmake' for additional versions.
You need to ensure you install
cmake
properly. It needs to be in your$PATH
variable. It is highly unlikely to be sufficient to put it inside theMETAL
folder.Simply downloading a tool is not (in most cases) the same as installing it.
Thanks a lot ... I finally installed and set PATH properly for cmake...
now I am facing another problem preventing me from installing METAL completely.. error message :https://ibb.co/zsRfMK2 If anyone knows whats going on please help!!! I just followed the instructions found here https://github.com/statgen/METAL
Please download the latest release from GitHub: https://github.com/statgen/METAL/releases
Then apply the steps as before.
You are probably trying to compile a super-ancient version.
