Common problems/troubleshooting¶
Installing the prebuilt app package:
- Because the RAW team is an unidentified developer, you may get a warning message the
first time you run the program. If that happens, right click on RAW and select Open button in the window that appears.
- This requires administrator privileges
from the right click menu, and then click the - If the above doesn’t work, you can run the RAW app from the command line. Navigate to
RAW.app/Contents/MacOS
and run the RAW unix executable file (./RAW
) in that directory.
Installing from source:
- If you fail to build the extensions before running RAW, RAW will crash at some point.
Be sure to run the
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
before starting RAW. - Using the RAW autorg function requires a relatively recent version of numba. If you get an error running this function update your numba version to the most recent.
- If you are installong on an older Macbook (older than ~2012) you need to install all packages
through conda forge (
conda install -c conda-forge <package_name>
). The new ones in the main conda channel cuase an illegal instruction error. See this thread: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9678. It’s possible this will be resolved at some point and the main channel will be useable for older machines again.
