help to install 'FAR - The Flexible Adapter Remover' on Mac OS

[dawe]

I can't get it to run either. Seems there are either files missing and/or it's not compiled correctly for OSX...shame, seems like a cool utility!

Guys, where's the OS X binary? Anyway, I'm trying to build my own TBB and FAR. Meanwhile, you should check if link path of libtbb.dylib is properly set:

$ otool -L libtbb.dylib

The first line should be the path you want it to be (i.e. /usr/local/lib). You may change it by

$ install_name_tool -id /usr/local/lib/libtbb.dylib libtbb.dylib

In precompiled far you should change it by issuing

$ install_name_tool -change /path/to/libtbb.dylib /usr/local/lib/libtbb.dylib far

This hopefully should work (although it is hard to guess without the error you get).
@joseph: your far installation should be in a directory in the PATH env variable :-)

Maybe report what errors you encountered...?

these are the instructions from Readme.txt:
MacOSX: Copy the libtbb.dylib from ./lib into your lib searchpath.

I copied ibtbb.dylib to /usr/local/bin
but I am not able to figure out from the instructions what are the next steps after copying this file to /usr/local/bin.

I tried to run it:
far --adapters adapters.fasta --source test.fa --target test_result.fa --format fasta --log-level ALL --cut-off 4 --min-overlap 6
-bash: far: command not found

thanks
