Hello Camilo,
I was not quite explicit in the command to run. The whoami command would be "./simfactory/bin/sim whoami".
Did you run "./simfactory/bin/sim setup-silent" once more after having run:
echo >$HOME/.hostname "compos_MacBook"
?
Yours, Roland
Dear Roland,
Thank you for your reply!
not sure if only modifying it in .zshrc will do the trick since simfactory does not call "hostname -f" but instead uses the OS functions that hostname uses (among other things) which may not see / respect anything set in your .zshrc.
A couple more suggestions and double checks:
Did you try the command:
echo >$HOME/.hostname "compos_MacBook"
?
Did you run "./simfactory/bin/sim setup-silent" once more after the modification?
With your modification, can you run "simfactory whoami" or does this produce an error? What is the output?
So, I did this but the same error keeps showing up. When I run "simfactory whoami" it shows: "command not found: simfactory
I checked the directory: simfactory/mdb/machines, and actually there is a file called: campos@MacBook.ini. I'm sure this is the one messing up the whole thing. Can I modify this file by hand?
Thank you!
Best wishes, Camilo

Are there any files starting with "campos" in simfactory/mdb/machines/ ? This is where "setup-silent" creates a file <MACHINENAME>.ini (and the desire to avoid unusual characters in there is part of why we only allow "harmless" characters.
Yours, Roland
Dear Roland,
Thank you very much for your kind response. I thought the problem >> was my laptop's name due to the @ character, so I decided to change >> the name, and I also modified the .zshrc file so my host name looks >> cleaner in the shell. However I still have the same problem. I am attaching the output you asked for. I also tried your solution, but >> I got the same problem.
Thank you in advance for your help
Best wishes, Camilo

Hello Camilo,
I have not quite seen that error before. From the output it would seem that simfactory's setup-silent command is not happy with the machine names that it picked. Did you name your laptop "compos@MacBook" (you can check this via the "Sharing" preferences on the "System Preferences") by any chance?
Can you let me know what "hostname -f" outputs?
The simplest way to work around this for you is to create a file named ".hostname" in your $HOME with the name you would like simfactory to pretend your laptop is named eg this command should do:
echo >$HOME/.hostname "compos_MacBook"
Yours, Roland
