Cannot install tokumx on osx: cannot execute binary file

Question

I download from tokumx website newest version. When I start mongod I have an error,

bash: ./mongod: cannot execute binary file 

Any solution.

Answer 1

The only version available directly from the website is for linux, you'll need to contact them to get an OSX build.

Answer 2

The TokuMX Community Edition downloads featured on the Tokutek site are currently 64-bit Linux only. The system requirements also note that only 64-bit Linux is officially supported.

However, for OS X users there is a Homebrew TAP package available if you want to install binaries for development purposes.

Assuming you have have Homebrew installed, you should be able to install the tokumx-bin package by running the following from your shell prompt:

brew tap tokutek/tokumx
brew install tokumx-bin

Notes:

• the package install will fail unless you enter some text when prompted for an email address (though any text including the default "email address" seems to work)

• the tokumx-bin package conflicts with the mongodb package as both use the same names for binaries

• TokuMX binaries and data files are not interchangeable with MongoDB
