Problem Installing Astronomy.net on Mac

[Christopher Sandor]

Hello,

I received this message 

==> Cloning https://svn.code.sf.net/p/netpbm/code/stable

==> Checking out 4982

svn: E000060: Error running context: Operation timed out

Error: astrometry-net: Failed to download resource "netpbm"

Failure while executing; `/usr/bin/env svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/netpbm/code/stable /Users/christophersandor/Library/Caches/Homebrew/netpbm--svn --quiet -r 4982` exited with 1. Here's the output:

svn: E000060: Error running context: Operation timed out

**I don't know that much about MAC command line operations.  I think its not looking for the most current version of the program available.  Stable version is 5000.  How do I fix this?  Thanks.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi,

You'll need to provide a little more context on what you're doing here.

There are several ways to install the code on MacOS, and I can't tell which way you're trying here.

It's not homebrew.  MacPorts?

If you're starting by typing some command into a terminal, you really need to include that command, and it helps to give the whole transcript up to the point of the error.

The particular bit of code you're showing here is coming from checking out the "netpbm" code, which is a dependency of astrometry.net.  It looks like it's timing out... which might mean some sort of network problem between your computer and the sourceforge computers where netpbm is.

cheers,

dustin

I was using brew install astronomy--net

Looks like it was one of my routers/internet connections.  Switched connections, worked.  Thanks.

Okay... on my mac, when I go to reinstall netpbm, it grabs a "bottle" (pre-compiled version):

so... looks like it's grabbing the same version, but successfully.

Try again?  Maybe you have a firewall blocking access to svn.code.sf.net ?  (Can you see http://svn.code.sf.net/p/netpbm/code/stable/ in a browser?)

Thanks Dustin.  I switched over to my phone hotspot and it is installing without a problem.  Thanks for your help.
