Personally I use docker toolbox on the mac to set up a linux VM that supports EB. Any linux VM would work.
I think you'll find that route a lot more compatible with your linux cluster. Some others might have different opinions :) https://www.docker.com/docker-toolbox I have some docker images for easybuild here https://hub.docker.com/r/rjeschmi/easybuild-centos7/ And a bunch of RPMs for centos7 built with EasyBuild to get the open source toolchains running (will be installed into /software/easybuild): http://rpm.ottbioinfo.ca/ I haven't made the yum repos yet, but will do that soon. If you go this route you might find this useful as some hints how I set up my docker runs: https://github.com/rjeschmi/eb-devel-install/blob/master/docker-compose.yml On Fri, Jan 1, 2016, 11:25 AM Elizabeth Fischer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm trying to use EasyBuild on a Mac.
