Installing TVB on macOS

[Jeehye An]

Hi,

I'm trying to install TVB on a macOS (Big Sur 11.6 with M1 chip). When I try to configure user settings I get an error - "An unexpected exception appeared. Please check the log files" as shown in the screenshot attached below.

I've also attached the 4 log files under .tvb-temp/logs directory. 

+ another issue I had was - when I put path to MATLAB (/Applications/MATLAB_R2021b.app) it didn't recognize it. But I guess it's a minor issue at this point

Best, Jeehye

Hi Jeehye,

Please quickly try to: 

- double click "tvb_clean" command under TVB_Distribution, 

- then restart, 

- and directly remove the matlab path if that is automatically filled

- click button apply on the right

- now wait for tvb to relaunch and try the default credentials (admin/pass).

Let us know if these work for you!

Best,

Lia

Dear Lia,

Thanks for the reply. I have tried but it didn't solve the problem :( Also Matlab path is empty by default

Best,

Jeehye

Hi Jeehye,

Could you please tell me on your settings page what is the value you try for “Root folder for all projects:” ?

https://docs.thevirtualbrain.org/manuals/UserGuide/UserGuide-UI_User.html#tvb-settings

It should not be a folder under /Applications, but preferably under your user home, for example “/Users/lia.domide/TVB/“ and this folder does not need to exist upfront.

Best,

Lia.

Dear Lia,

it's the default one - /Users/jeehyean/TVB

I set all the settings to default. I did follow the instructions closely (also tried a few different settings, with tvb_clean.command in between each) but nothing worked. 

Best, Jeehye

Hi, 

as noted above I'm using Big Sur 11.6 (with M1 chip)

Hi

 

I wasn’t able to reproduce the problem on a M1 laptop with 11.6 with the TVB 2.4.1 distribution.  Maybe just to check, you have free space on your hard drive?

 

The log files you posted mention a TEMP folder that should be present when you first run the TVB with the settings.  Can you try the clean command, and additionally run “rm -r ~/.tvb.configuration ~/TVB ~/.tvb-temp” in the Terminal, and then try to start TVB again?

 

Cheers,

Marmaduke
