MFiX 20.1 for Mac

mbugliaro · April 15, 2020, 12:25am

I downloaded the Anaconda Python 3.7 64-bit Graphical Installer for Mac, opened terminal, typed bash, and then pasted the command. I received this message:

An unexpected error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.

Not sure what any of this means. Any suggestions??

That error message usually means that the conda create -n mfix-20.1.0 ... -c https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/s3/..... command is expired. The code in the URL path expires within a few hours.

I just tested the conda command on my Mac, and it installed correctly.

Could you refresh the download page https://mfix.netl.doe.gov/mfix/download-mfix/ in your browser and running it again?

Do you think it does not work because I am running Catalina?

mark.meredith · April 16, 2020, 6:27pm

Hmm, I’m not sure; my Mac is Mojave 10.14.6.

We just updated a point release 20.1.2. You can try that.

Also, on the “Source/Pip” tab of the download page, you can now install with pip. You can try that to see if that works better for you. (Either Anaconda Python, python.org Python, or any Python 3.7 distribution, just not /usr/bin/python Python 2.7 of course)

Also

Thanks for your help, Mark! I was able to install it through pip. I also think that there may have been an issue as to where I saved the file to. I originally had it saved to my Desktop, but had to move it to my User folder and it’s all good now.
