Non-fatal error on MacOS

[West]

Running:

MacOS 12
zsh 5.8 (x86_64-apple-darwin21.0)

Seems like a problem with readlink on MacOS.
Perhaps the GNU version will work. Will test soon.

$ ./antp.sh import
readlink: illegal option -- f

Seems like a problem with readlink on MacOS.

It is possible.

Also make sure to run Python 3.10.

I did get further by using python 3.10.
brew link --overwrite python@3.10

It should work even if readlink fails as long as you're in the same directory. If you launch antp.sh from a different directory (e.g. by linking it in your PATH), it won't work. Ideally you need to figure out why your operating system doesn't provide a proper version of readlink.

[West]

Yeah, the program seems to run perfectly fine even with the error.
The MacOS coreutils are based on the BSD coreutils I believe, this is why it doesn't have as many options.

Just pulled in the commit. No errors when running within the project directory.
