Next steps to install following git binary download

[lccomsa]

I am trying to install smoove onto a computing cluster.

Note: We do not have access to Docker, and it seems I lack the sudo permissions required to run the container using apptainer, so that option is out. Conda is also a bust since we do not have mamba on the cluster, and when I try to install with bioconda, it pulls an older version of lumpy that doesn't have lumpy_filter (and trying to remove it and then manually install it while specifying the newer version results in a failure...)

So far, I have successfully downloaded the file located at [https://github.com/brentp/smoove/archive/refs/tags/v0.2.8.zip] , and then unzipped it. But I am unfamiliar with how to proceed from this point since I see no make files (and naively trying to run make doesn't work), and trying to call ./smoove within the folder also fails, so clearly I am missing some sort of step at this point.

Any instructions you can provide would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

hi, you'll want to download the binary, not the zip file. Then you'll be able to run smoove without any arguments and it will show you the other tools that are needed. You can install those as you like.
I'd suggest to get singularity working or to try again with bioconda and report the full errors here.
