Unable to run Sparse-SIM.app on MacBook Pro with M2 Max processor

[NYCIvan]

Hi Weisong, thank you for sharing your project. It is really helpful. These days I tried to run Sparse-SIM.app on my MacBook Pro with M2 Max processor, but the installer just never initiate (it crashed every time I clicked it). I also tried to use MATLAB runtime, but it didn't work neither, it kept saying "no such file" (files' names are different in MACI64 folder) . I am not sure if it is the Apple M2 Max processor does not compatible with your project. Could you provide me some suggestions? Thank you!

I'm not sure what's going on, because the APP on MacOS has not yet been tested thoroughly. I would highly recommend to apply our sparse deconvolution on the MATLAB software by running this script or our Python version.

Here is the suggestion for the execution of APP anyway:

I. First way:
Execute the SparseSIM_web_installer.app directly and follow the instructions.
Open your terminal, and run the following shell:

cd "the absolute path of Sparse_SIM.app"

./run_Sparse_SIM.sh /MATLAB/MATLAB_runtime/v93

II. Second way:

1. Verify that version 9.3 (R2017b) of the MATLAB Runtime is installed: https://ssd.mathworks.com/supportfiles/downloads/R2017b/deployment_files/R2017b/installers/maci64/MCR_R2017b_maci64_installer.dmg.zip

2. If you have version 9.3 of the MATLAB Runtime installed in /mathworks/home/application/v93,
   open your terminal, and run the following shell:

cd "the absolute path of Sparse_SIM.app"
 
./run_Sparse_SIM.sh /mathworks/home/application/v93

OR

If you have Matlab 2017b installed in Applications/

./run_Sparse_SIM.sh /Applications/MATLAB_R2017b.app/runtime/maci64

The other versions can copy the /maci64 folder to your /Matlab/runtime folder (It should be careful).
