Installation Issues
1

I followed the installation instruction step by step, but still cannot start afni. I got the following error message:
Precompiled binary macos_12_x86_64: Feb 20 2024 (Version AFNI_24.0.07 'Caracalla')

** Version check disabled: AFNI_VERSION_CHECK forbids

I made sure that I used tcsh, restarted my Mac, and also re-installed xQuartz. Still the same thing

Thanks go to B Feige for advice and help

Initializing: X11Error: Can't open display: /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.E1Z2K7OfrY/org.xquartz:0

++ AFNI is detached from terminal.

can you help?

“Unrecognized subcommand: getnev
Usage: launchctl ... | help [subcommand]
Many subcommands take a target specifier that refers to a domain or service
within that domain. The available specifier forms are:

system/[service-name]
Targets the system-wide domain or service within. Root privileges are required
to make modifications.

user//[service-name]
Targets the user domain or service within. A process running as the target user
may make modifications. Root may modify any user's domain. User domains do not
exist on iOS.

gui//[service-name]
Targets the GUI domain or service within. Each GUI domain is associated with a
user domain, and a process running as the owner of that user domain may make
modifications. Root may modify any GUI domain. GUI domains do not exist on iOS.

session//[service-name]
Targets a session domain or service within. A process running within the target
security audit session may make modifications. Root may modify any session
domain.

pid//[service-name]
Targets a process domain or service within. Only the process which owns the
domain may modify it. Even root may not do so.

When using a legacy subcommand which manipulates a domain, the target domain is
inferred from the current execution context. When run as root (whether it is
via a root shell or sudo(1)), the target domain is assumed to be the
system-wide domain. When run from a normal user's shell, the target is assumed
to be the per-user domain for that current user.

Subcommands:
bootstrap Bootstraps a domain or a service into a domain.
bootout Tears down a domain or removes a service from a domain.
enable Enables an existing service.
disable Disables an existing service.
kickstart Forces an existing service to start.
attach Attach the system's debugger to a service.
debug Configures the next invocation of a service for debugging.
kill Sends a signal to the service instance.

plist Prints a property list embedded in a binary (targets the Info.plist by default).
procinfo Prints port information about a process.
hostinfo Prints port information about the host.
resolveport Resolves a port name from a process to an endpoint in launchd.
limit Reads or modifies launchd's resource limits.
examine Runs the specified analysis tool against launchd in a non-reentrant manner.
config Modifies persistent configuration parameters for launchd domains.
dumpstate Dumps launchd state to stdout.
dumpjpcategory Dumps the jetsam properties category for all services.
reboot Initiates a system reboot of the specified type.
bootshell Brings the system up from single-user mode with a console shell.
