ARM64 installation issue - M3 chip MacBook Pro

Context

I am using PHARROKA (available on Github) to annotate bacteriophage genomes. MMseq2 is a required dependency. It was working perfectly on my MacBook Pro purchased in 2011. I recently switched to a new one (MacBook M3-pro) and it is not working anymore (see the above PHARROKA output involving MMseqs). I am very far from being a developer and I am only a self-taught bioinformatician. I am thus seeking help !

I used Brew to install MMseqs, my OS is Mac OS X Sonoma 14.4.1.

Thanks !

Nico

Is there an error message or anything else? MMseqs2 works fine on my Apple Silicon MacBook

I think something has gone wrong attaching the mentioned output.

I let @gbouras13 know, our version string is a bit inconsistent between platforms. Should be fixed soon in pharokka.

Hi @nicolasginet,

I'm the Pharokka developer - thanks for spotting this. I'll put in a fix soon.

In the meantime @nicolasginet if you just comment out the MMSeqs2 related lines by putting a '#' at the front in /Users/nico/Documents/myCore/Bioinformatics/pharokka/bin/input_commands.py (lines 393-419)

starting

https://github.com/gbouras13/pharokka/blob/947c45685169af20a1aba9f78f682516f33c0611/bin/input_commands.py#L393

then Pharokka should hopefully work for you.

Also feel free to make an issue in Pharokka if the issue persists or you run into a different bug.
