Entering password for FEniCS in bash shell?

Question

I am currently trying to install FEniCS on my Macbook Pro, however when I run 'sudo apt-get install fenics' in the bash shell, it asks for a password. I have tried my password for logging into my mac, 'fenics' as suggested by another user, and 'FEniCS'. Any help would be appreciated - thank you!

Answer 1

You cannot do sudo apt-get install fenics on a Mac. That will only work on a Debian based Linux distribution, like Ubuntu. See the download page for installation options for your Mac.

Thank you. Even after running the 'curl -s http://get.fenicsproject.org | sh' script I was getting an error, but by restarting the Docker host using '$ docker-machine restart default' and setting the environment variables using 'eval "$(docker-machine env default)" I was able to pull the fenicsproject image and run it on my Mac. I appreciate your assistance!
