I'm trying to install ExpansionHunterDenovo on my Mac. It says it should be compatible here:
https://github.com/Illumina/ExpansionHunterDenovo/blob/master/documentation/02_Installation.md
However, I don't seem to be able to get it to work. Here are my steps:
cd bin/
wget wget https://github.com/Illumina/ExpansionHunterDenovo/releases/download/v0.9.0/ExpansionHunterDenovo-v0.9.0-linux_x86_64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf ExpansionHunterDenovo-v0.9.0-linux_x86_64.tar.gz
cd ExpansionHunterDenovo-v0.9.0-linux_x86_64/bin
chmod +x ExpansionHunterDenovo # Make executable
mv ExpansionHunterDenovo /Users/michaelflower/bin # Move to bin so it's in my PATH
ExpansionHunterDenovo --version
-bash: /Users/michaelflower/bin/ExpansionHunterDenovo: cannot execute binary file
You're downloading the linux_x86_64 binary on a Mac.
That's why it doesn't work. Look for a macOS binary orcompile from source.EDIT: The page says it's supposed to work on both Linux and macOS but that page was updated 4 years ago. I'd say go ahead and try compiling from source and also raise an issue on that repository.
Thanks. This page suggests it can be installed with conda.
https://bioconda.github.io/recipes/expansionhunterdenovo/README.html
But I still get an error with it
However, expansionhunter installs fine
https://anaconda.org/bioconda/expansionhunter
But I still need ExpansionHunterDenovo
Like I said, try compiling from source and check the repo's issues. From a preliminary glance, this looks like abandonware but I could be wrong.
