Clustal Omega Installation on M1 Mac (Ventura 13.1)

Question

[mboursnell]

Hi,

I am trying to install Clustal Omega on an M1 iMac with Ventrua 13.1

I have the directory with the clustal-omega-1.2.4 and argtable2-13 in the same place.

When I type cd clustal-omega-1.24 and then ./configure I get this (below)

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Mike

If you have a conda installation, then you could try installing it through conda instead.

PS: That's what I have done with most of the bioinfo tools as they are much easier to install using conda on M1 macs.

@Mike there is an intel mac binary available (LINK) that should work via rosetta. It may be a bit slow.

But I will second @sej's suggestion of installing through conda.
