doc command not working

[Giorgio Davico]

Dear all,

while trying to use the dos command to run the AnalyzeTool from the terminal (to batch process StaticOptimization and JointReaction analyses using the OpenSim API in MATLAB), some students of mine who work on MacOS were shown the following message and could not successfully run the simulations:

Code: Select all

-bash: opensim-cmd: commandnot found

I pointed them to this document (https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/d ... +Utilities) to make sure everything was correctly installed, but the problem was not solved.

If anyone has ever encountered this same problem, could you please let me know how to solve it?
I don't have a Mac myself, so I can't test it on my own.

Cheers,
Giorgio

Hello Giorgio,

Can you please clarify what is the current behavior? For example,
- Was the application installed for admin/all-users or just one user?
- Were users able to locate the bin folder as explained in the doc?
- Are the shell scripts found as explained in the doc? Were the soft-links created successfully?
- Finally if this is specific to some students as it may be machine specific or OS version specific.

Appreciate if you can provide more details so we can help your students,

Best regards,
-Ayman

Thanks Ayman for the prompt reply.

I have gathered some more information from my students, which you can find below and attached:

• macOS: BigSur v11.3 (student #1), v11.3.1 (student #2), v11.2.3 (student #3)

• opensim-cmd installation: succesfull in one case (see picture 1_successful_install), unsuccessful for the others (see picture 2_successful_install)

• MATLAB error when dos is called:

  zsh:1: command not found: opensim-cmd

  (same when she tried replacing zsh with bash)

To answer your questions:

• OpenSim was installed for all users

• Yes, all students were able to locate the bin folder

• Yes, they did find the shell scripts and it seems the soft link was indeed created succesfully (not in one case)

• This problem was specific to the few students who work with macOS (BigSur)

I hope this clarifies the problem.

Best,
Giorgio
