AFNI version info (afni -ver): v23.1.10

Hi everyone,

I'm following the instructions here to install the latest version of AFNI on my macOS with an Apple M2 chip that is running Ventura 13.4. I was able to follow the directions until I reached "Install AFNI", when I received the following error message:

Any thoughts? Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

Hi, Meredith-

Our server was done, and several installation problems like this happened for folks.

I think you this should be resolved now---could you please try following the installation again, and actually the instructions one the following two pages should be the best to use:
part A
part B
We have recently been updating our installs for macOS, and actually building the binaries locally---as described in these instructions---will likely lead to better performance, integration with R libraries, and general sense of contentment with The Universe.

Please let us know how that goes.

Thank you so much for your quick response!

I was able to get all the way through part A
In part B, I got stuck at line 17:

tcsh @update.afni.binaries -no_recur -package anyos_text_atlas \
        -bindir $HOME/abin

The error message I received is as follows:

Thanks for any help! Totally understand re: contentment with The Universe when it comes to coding. :slight_smile:

Hi, Meredith-

Could you please try that again? It worked OK for me, so the permissions seem OK now for getting that dataset.

Hopefully The Universe smiles on that...
