Download RAW from sourceforge
Navigate to the Files tab and download the latest source code,
RAW-x.y.z-Source.zip
. Or download the latest development version from the git by navigating to the Code tab.
Expand the downloaded zip file in the Downloads folder by double clicking on it.
This step may not be necessary, some browsers may automatically expand zip files.
In the terminal or in the graphical file manager, confirm that the file named
setup.py
is in your expanded raw directory. If it isn’t, it’s likely that when you expanded the RAW download, you ended up with unnecessary layers of directories. Find the directory withsetup.py
in it, and make that the top level folder.Move the RAW files to Applications folder
Move the folder that contains all of the RAW files to the
Applications
folder. As above, this would be the folder withsetup.py
in it.Rename the folder that you just moved to
raw
.
In a terminal, change directory into the top level RAW folder
If you used the suggested path of
Applications/raw
type:cd /Applications/raw
Build the extensions.
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
Navigate to the
bioxtasraw
subfolderFrom the top level RAW folder it should be
cd ./bioxtasraw
Run RAW
python RAW.py
Note: Older versions of conda will use the command
pythonw RAW.py
Enjoy!
In the future, you can start RAW as in the previous step.
