HMMER re-install on Mac M1

[yunso123]

Hi,

I have been using HMMER that I installed with conda on my Mac M1 pro. Unfortunately, I had issues with conda, so I uninstalled and re-installed conda on Mac.

Since then, I am having problems to install HMMER again with conda and also from the source.
I get the following error message:

Does anyone know what could the issues here?

Thanks a lot for you help.

Hello. There are two ways to get HMMER running on an M1 Mac. The first is to install Apple's Rosetta 2 x86 compatibility tool, and use that to build HMMER. This will work with the official released version. The second would be to download and build the develop branch of our Github repository, which has support for the ARM processor, although this exposes you to the fact that the develop branch is currently under development, and so may have issues. I'm guessing that you somehow had Conda running under Rosetta 2 when you did your initial install of HMMER, and that's why it worked.

Hi, just following this thread. On M1 ARM Ventura type on terminal:

1. arch -x86_64 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/hmmer
2. arch -x86_64 make
3. arch -x86_64 make install

This will compile hmmer using Rosetta2.
Best

I've deployed Python wheels for HMMER binaries so you can use HMMER on Mac M1 (or Linux for that matter) like this:

pip install hmmer
hmmscan -h
hmmpress -h
# etc.

Or if you have pipx, you can even use HMMER without messing with yout environment:

pipx run --spec hmmer hmmpress -h
pipx run --spec hmmer hmmscan -h
# etc.

@npcarter , I'm happy to hand over the Python package name hmmer to you and help (if you wish) with deploying the next HMMER releases like I did.

Cool, thanks Danilo!
