iCommands on Mac 2022

[Dmitri Darine]

Hi

What's the modern/recommended/easiest way to get iCommands on Mac?

Best regards

D

Hi Dmitri,

We have not packaged arm64 binaries - so you'll need to use the x86/amd64 binaries...

I've gotten this to work on an M1 Mac via Docker... (the key was the --platform flag):

$ docker run -d --platform linux/amd64 --name ub20icommands ubuntu:20.04 tail -f /dev/null

$ docker exec -it ub20icommands /bin/bash

then within the container, install the iCommands

# apt-get update

# apt-get install -y wget sudo lsb-release gnupg

# wget -qO - https://packages.irods.org/irods-signing-key.asc | sudo apt-key add -

# echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.irods.org/apt/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/renci-irods.list

# apt-get update

# apt-get install -y irods-icommands

then back on the host

$ docker exec -it ub20icommands iinit

then the rest of the iCommands are available

$ docker exec -it ub20icommands ils
/tempZone/home/rods:

Note... putting and getting files are done from 'within' the container... so if you need to move data, you'll probably want to use a volume mount or docker cp to share between host and container.

$ docker cp filetoput.txt ub20icommands:/

$ docker exec -it ub20icommands iput filetoput.txt foo

$ docker exec -it ub20icommands ils
/tempZone/home/rods:
  foo

Gocommands is a reimplementation of iCommands in golang which is portable. 

Although it does not provide all functionalities of iCommands, Gocommands is an available option if you want to just want simple data transfer jobs.
