Re: [ESPResSo-users] Issue with installing on MacOS X

[Konrad Breitsprecher]

Hello,

it should be no bigger problem to run Espresso with VMD on your Mac. 

Install MacPorts and get fftw, tcl and gcc for a minimal setup to compile Espresso without python and CUDA.

Look at the output of 'configure' to see what's missing. If you're stuck, just post the specific problem..

Depending on what you want to simulate, also try to get other computational resources, because production runs on a Mac won't be fun.

Regards,

Konrad

Dear Espresso-Users,

my name is Sebastian Bindgen and I’m about to start my Master Thesis using Espresso.

I’m facing a problem concerning the installation of Espresso. During my Master Thesis I’ll work on a MacBookPro with XCode installed (every other Software can be installed by myself as well). Until now I had Espresso run on a virtual openSUSE machine. Installation for Espresso worked but i couldn’t get VMD / VTK to run.

Now I’m trying to install the Software directly on MacOS and got the exact opposite result: The Virtualisation-Software works but I can’t install Espresso. I have to admit I’m not very familiar with the command line (It took me two evenings to install Espresso on the virtual openSUSE), but in the meantime I know the basic commands. And I’m willing to learn more.

In the Mail-Archive I saw, that some users already installed Espresso on MacOS. I want to ask, if you’re willing to help me with installation or at least give me some hints, what I have to do. What software, I have to install to get it running.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,
Sebastian Bindgen
