MEGAN from the command line

[oTrout]

Hello all,
I am trying to run MEGAN from the command line and am having no luck (gui mode is working fine).

other forum posts mention something like this...
./MEGAN +w +s +g -x <commands>

But which directory do i call this from?
I dont know where to find the executable for command line operation.

please help,

Thank you.







(specifically, running MEGAN V4.70.4 on mac OsX10.8.2

Assuming MEGAN is installed and on your path, try:

$ which MEGAN

That should tell you where the binary is.

thankyou for your prompt reply maubp,

the problem is that I cant find an executable binary anywhere in the folder created on program installation.

You must have a shortcut or link to the MEGAN tool which you click on to run the GUI - where is that pointing? e.g. it could be something like /Users/oTrout/Applications/MEGAN.app/MEGAN if MEGAN is installed just for your user account.

Ahaaa, the executable i want has the path:
MEGAN/MEGAN.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub

this seems to be doing the job

Thankyou for your assistance
