Hello all,
I cannot get Mr Bayes to install on my MAC. Each time I download the MAC version what I get is a file in my downloads that has no installation capability. The user manual says that it should contain and installer but none comes up. I downloaded BEAGLE separately and a CUDO driver per instructions I found on a GitHub help page. Then re-downloaded Mr Bayes but again no installer populates. It definitely isn't installed as the mb command in my terminal window is still unrecognized. I tried downloading though GitHub but this didn't work either. Please has anyone had this issue. Admittedly, I know absolutely nothing about coding and fear having no GUI interface, but I understand taxonomy, and I require a bayesian analysis.
Thanks!
Which MAC OS are you currently using?
The 64 bit version downloaded from this link works on High Sierra 10.13.1
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mrbayes/?source=typ_redirect
Once the folder is unzipped you should be able to click on the mb.exec file to open a new terminal window. Alternatively you use the command line to specify the path and once in the folder use the ./mb command and go from there
I had the same problem and the link above at sourceforge have moved their version of MrBayes!
So I downloaded the second to last version, 3.2.5 for Mac from this link and it seems to work.
https://github.com/NBISweden/MrBayes/blob/v3.2.5/MrBayes-3.2.5_MACx64.pkg
Good luck!
Thanks Virginia. This worked for me too when v3.2.6 didn't on High Sierra 10.13.6
