Re: [ESPResSo-users] problem with installing espressomd

Hi,

I'm sorry I am not an expert on macOS, I forwarded your question

to somebody who might be able to help you. In the future please

ask questions on the mailing list [1] so that it (and the answer) can be seen by

other people who might have a similar problem.

Cheers,

Florian

Dear Florian,

My student is trying to install ESPResSO on her Macbook Pro (Mojave, macOS 10.14.5) and is having trouble with the instructions provided on the website for installing all the needed tools.

When she types: 

sudo port select --set mpi openmpi-mp-fortran

She received the error:

Selecting 'openmpi-mp-fortran' for 'mpi' failed: The specified version 'openmpi-mp-fortran' is not valid.

We are beginners with this kind of software installation and don't know what else to try. We don't even know how to ask for help on GitHub.

Do you have any suggestions? Is there an updated set of instructions? Thanks for any help you can offer.
