MacOS installation problem
« on: December 04, 2024, 03:55:36 PM »
Hi

I tried to install the MacOS verson of Turbomole 7.8.1 and upon trying to extract the files I get a message that says "Cannot install TURBOMOLE".
Tried downloading a new compressed archive but I get the same error.

Hi,

is the self-extracting TURBOMOLE*.bin file there? Should be in the TmoleX installation folder. If yes, you can simply unzip it instead of running it:

unzip TURBOMOLE*.bin

that should also do the job.

The bin filewas deleted automatically open closing the installer but if I did not close the installer then I could unzip it manually.
Thanks!

Hi,

during installation the same error occurred. I also tried unzipping the turbomole*.bin file manually but a message appeared that the file could not be extracted. I also tried extracting it by using the Unarchiver App but it wasn`t succesful. By closing the install wizard the file also gets deleted.

Hello,

please use the latest installers from version 7.9 which is not using the self-extracting .bin file any more.
