Thank you very much.  I will try these and let you know how that works out for us.

Thank you for taking the time to try to figure this out for me.  I appreicate it!  I will try installing on a PC and see if that works for me.

There are now automated binary builds on my unofficial github repo for CMTK. Next time you need to install maybe you could try them out and feed back if they work for you. Best, Greg.

Sorry, I still didnt fugured the mac thing out, on win11 or ubuntu should work, also on mac it looks like CMTK install is already a bottleneck.

Thanks!  I wasn't sure so I did it with and without the space and got the same response. 
Macintosh-62:~ meilinwu$ cmtk --help
-bash: cmtk: command not found
Macintosh-62:~ meilinwu$ cmtk--help
-bash: cmtk--help: command not found
I'm guessing that is not a good sign for me...

Maybe this is just a typo in your post, but to be sure - there needs to be a space between `cmtk` and `--help` :)

Sorry if this is posted multiple times, for some reason it doesn't seem to be showing up.  
Thank you for the suggestion.  When I enter that command, the response is:
-bash: cmtk--help: command not found
Does this mean the installation failed?  I do believe something was installed because I can access the cmtk plugin in FIJI (see attachment)

That should be sufficient, also good news that its an Intel chip, for the Apple silicon you would need Rosetta or an ARM build. In the meantime maybe you can confrim if you have a working CMTK install by running "cmtk --help" command in the terminal, or try some examples from the CMTK userguide :https://insight-journal.org/browse/publication/706/#manuscript

Hi Sandor - thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this.  Not sure if it is relevant, but I'm using a 5yr old macbook pro running macOS15.6.1.  Processor is 2.4GH 8-core intel i9 with 32GB RAM.  I was wonding if maybe the processor is not sufficiently powerful?

Hi,  thanks for the interest, was a long time I tested this on a mac, not even sure if bash commands like this are still working in the current shell. I will get back to you as soon as I figure it out.
