I am trying to install Rostlab's PredictProtein in a Virtual Machine as detailed here https://rostlab.org/owiki/index.php/How_to_Run_The_PredictProtein_Machine_Image_with_VirtualBox:
- Download PredictProtein Machine Image to your local drive. You will need the Bio-Linux-based 'VMWARE/VMDK' format version.
- Choose the Debian-based version in case you do not need a graphical user interface. This image is only half the size of the Bio-Linux-based image.
- Download a database image to your local drive. We recommend the 'raw' format version.
- Create New Virtual Machine: Machine -> New
- Name your virtual machine as 'PredictProtein'
- Choose Linux and Debian as operation system
- Locate and select the VMware .vmdk file as your boot disk
- Give at least 2GB of RAM to your virtual machine
- Click 'Finish'
- Boot your new virtual machine.
- If the message "The disk drive for /mnt/local-storage is not ready yet or not present" appears, press 's'.
The problem comes at this step:
Open a terminal and enter:
sudo mkfs.ext4 -F -m 0 -L local-storage /dev/sdb sudo mount -a sudo mkdir /mnt/local-storage/rostlab-data && cd /mnt/local-storage/rostlab-data sudo mount -a sudo mount /mnt/rostlab-data sudo tar -xvJf /mnt/rostlab-data/rostlab-data.txz sudo umount /mnt/rostlab-data && cd
When I run sudo mount /mnt/rostlab-data
, I get:
mount: special device LABEL=rostlab-data does not exist
How should I proceed?
Additional notes -
The output for
cat /etc/fstab
is
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
