Vince, I assume that "JMRI 10" is actually "JMRI 5.10". Remove what you have done so far. Download the .dmg for JRE or JDK (not FX). ?Double click the .dmg and run the installer. ?That is all you need to do. Make sure you select Intel or ARM based on your hardware. ?I am using Java 21 for testing purposes.

PanelPro won't start ("To use JMRI you need to install Java 11" dialog comes up) Date: Monday, May 19, 2025 3:11 PM Sorry to be "another one of those guys" who missed something obvious. I'm trying to get JMRI 10 running on a new Mac running Sequoia. ? First I installed the Azul version 17 LTS JDK with FX. I downloaded the zip file and put the resulting unzipped folder in my home directory under ~/bin/java and renamed the java root folder zulu-17.fx. (I did this to facilitate later, ongoing java upgrades when/if necessary.) ? After moving and renaming the directory, I went into my .zshrc file and set JAVA_HOME to /Users/<myUserName>/bin/java/zulu-17.fx and my PATH to $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH. I then "source"d the .zshrc file and tried java --version and get: ? openjdk 17.0.15 2025-04-15 LTS OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu17.58+21-CA (build 17.0.15+6-LTS) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu17.58+21-CA (build 17.0.15+6-LTS, mixed mode, sharing) Even wrote a little "hello world" java program and javac works. Seems good. I installed JMRI V10 and fired up PanelPro. I get the dialog: ? ? ? I even tried logging out and logging in again just to be sure no bad paths were being cached anywhere. No change. I keep looking over the JMRI installation pages and don't see anything that looks like a step I missed. Can someone tell me what I skipped or otherwise did wrong? ? Thanks, Vince ? |
