Installation Problem MAC

[YoussefGha25]

Dear Guys,

First of all thank you for your work and software tool. I was trying to install on Mac including home-brew and the 3.11.9 version of python. So far all went well just on more or less the last step that error occurs and I would need some help on that, if possible.

The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run chsh -s /bin/zsh.

XXX:~ XXX$ cd /Applications/TagLab-main
XXX:TagLab-main XXX$ python3 install.py cpu
Using Torch in CPU version.
GDAL version installed: 3.10.3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/TagLab-main/install.py", line 221, in
raise Exception('Error while configuring Coraline library.\nInstallation aborted.')
Exception: Error while configuring Coraline library.
Installation aborted.

I suppose it is not a major issue and is probably easy to solve as long as you know how:)

Best regards

Youssef

I also tried to reinstall Homebrew but unfortunately the same error occurred.

@YoussefGha25 have you seen this issue and this discussion. They may or may not be useful

I'm also having this exact issue

I am having the same issue and installing the conda environment is not working. @Jordan-Pierce do you have any thoughts?

Is there an error?

I think this is a cmake version incompatibility thing - I got this same error just now installing on a fresh machine (Mac with an M4 processor) and I did a bit of digging. Seems like the error is coming from the cmakelists.txt file inside of the coraline folder in the taglab install directory. The first line in that file is cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1) and I just changed it to cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5). I then simply ran python install.py again and it worked great. I am not 100% certain that the newer cmake version (4.03) will work properly with everything, but that fix silenced the error and taglab seems to run fine now.

Edit: I did also have to manually run conda install numpy because the version that got installed via this method stated above by Jordan landed me with Numpy 1.24, which was too old.
