Issue installing AFNI on Mac OS 14.4 INTEL

Installation Issues
1

Hello there,

I followed the instructions for MAC OS 12+ intel script instructions and no errors were encountered during it (on terminal). However, when trying to open the app, I get an error message: Error: you must have at least a version 10.13, which as explained, I have, and way more. There are no instructions following the script on how to run it successfully after the script has been folloowed sucessfully.
Any clues please?
I also tried the "simple" Mac install with the package.

Thank you for your help!
Aude.

Hi Aude,

That sounds a bit like a mac message. Can you include the command and error text?

If you don't get a similar error, what is the output from the system check?

afni_system_check.py -check_all

Dear Rick,

Thank you veyr much for your answer.
When running this command I get: python: No such file or directory
This explains why afni won't work.
Might you have an idea of what might resolve the issue? I followed each step in the command line.
I got a similar error on another Mac computer at the university I work from.

Thank you for your help.

Have a good week-end,
Aude.

Then to back up, exactly what app were you trying to open? If it was on the command line, would you please paste the screen text from the command and error message? It is not clear what stage you were at.

Also, what is the output from:

ls -l /usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin/python*

Thanks,

Thank you Rick for your prompt response. I successfully installed all command lines involved with this page: 1.1.9. macOS 12+ (Intel processor/chip) — AFNI, SUMA and FATCAT: v24.2.07. I did not get a single error message from running the script.

And the command line you just proposed gives me the following:
ls: /usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin/python*: No such file or directory

You could think I did not insall anything reading this I realize. I have a lot of items in the abin in my apps though...
Just to clarify: I have a Mac OS 14.4.1 intel and installed the 12+ intel version as shown in the link.
Clearly my Mac is not installing python items somehow.

I hope this is not too vague in response to your questions.

Thank you!

Hmmm, assuming you have control of the homebrew installation, what is the output from running

brew install python

If it says that it is already installed, maybe it is hiding in a new location.
And if it is (well, either way), what is the output from:

brew --prefix python

Thanks,
