install-mongdb fails on osx, bad architecture about mongoctl

[abdulito]

Hi!

Thanks for reporting this. Seems to be a bug there. Unfortunately, there is no way of providing a literal url but what you can do is manually download/extract MongoDB and place it under ~/mongodb/

Really sorry for the inconvinience. I'll work on fixing this soon but if you can please tell what architecture do you have running your osx? Can you please run the following in your python shell and paste the print result here? Thanks!

[terminal] python
import platform
print platform.architecture()[0]

Sure thing! My machine thinks it is 64bit, and python seems to agree.
Initially I did have a 32bit python installed so when I saw this problem
I assumed that was the reason and went and installed the one you see
below (and reinstalled pip, and then mongoctl with the new python):

Python 2.7.5 (v2.7.5:ab05e7dd2788, May 13 2013, 13:18:45)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import platform
print platform.architecture()[0]
64bit

I see. Now according to the output you provided above, the "install-mongodb" command should install the osx 64bit distribution of MongoDB. Is it the case now? or was the error you got earlier happened after you did all that?

Thanks!

Yes, I wanted it to install the 64bit distribution of mongo, but even
after reinstalling with a 64bit python it still refuses to do so.

Hi,

Apologies but i wasnt able to track down the cause if your issue. Are you still running in to it? I did some refactoring in the install-mongodb command (will be releasing soon). If you would like to try it you can install mongoctl from github https://github.com/mongolab/mongoctl/archive/master.zip

Thanks!

Cannot reproduce. Closing. Please create a new issue if you are still seeing this. Thanks!
