Hi,

I have a Macbook Air with MacOSX Sierra.

I have a problem trying to install BSS. When I write the command /Application/BSS/bin/bss_prepare_data_for_tbm.py ~/Desktop/USC2015_BrainSuiteWorkshop/ICBM25 ICBM_demographics.csv modelspec_skeleton_tbm.ini -sigma 2.5

The following error appear:
-bash: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/BSS/bin/bss_prepare_data_for_tbm.py: No such file or directory

BSS is installed (I have checked via the upgrade command):

Could you please help me to solve this issue?

Thanks

Hi Alice,

If you installed bss using pip install bss, then I’m suspecting it must be installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bss or some such location.

Did you move the bss folder to /Applications by any chance?

I noticed you typed /Application/
In the command you actually ran, I’m assuming you typed /Applications/ since that’s the correct folder name on Mac.

Thanks,
Shantanu

PS: I should also let you know, that we are moving bss from python to R in the future. The release will happen before the end of this month. So if you were not in a rush to analyze the data, you could wait for the r package release. Just a thought.

Hi,

many thanks for your prompt reply. You are right, bss is installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bss. However, there is no “bin” folder in it (and therefore the bss_prepare_data_for_tbm.py file).
Unfortunately I need BSS soon to analyze my data.

Best wishes,

AM

If bss is installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7, then bss_prepare_data_for_tbm.py should go in the bin directory where you are calling python from. For e.g.
/usr/local/bin, /usr/bin etc..

you can do
which pip
or
which python

bss_prepare_data_for_tbm.py should be in the bin directory where your pip or python is located.
