install not recognizing the arguments

[clairem789]

Hello,
For some reason I can't install APERO properly now, the argument "name" is not recognized (I'm on : * v0.7.291-stable-test):

python setup/install.py —-name=md1011

install.py: error: unrecognized arguments: —-name=md1011

(I also tried without the = and it says the same)
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

So I don't know if its just github but it seems the charaters are —- i.e. a — and a - it should be --

i.e.

python setup/install.py --name=md1011

worth a try?

I didn't get the difference but as usual you are right, typing it again made it works. Thanks!

Mac sometimes turn two - characters (hyphen or the minus sign) into another character (long hyphen or em dash), there is also an "en dash" which is somewhere in between - I normally find when Etienne has typed something in a certain text editor it can do this hence I try to put code stuff in github in the "code box"

so - is different from — which is different from –

Fun!
