That's because you missed the space between the "java" command and the "-version" command-line option.

Alternatively, the install failed or you need to open a fresh Terminal window (post-installation of the JRE) to pick up the new executable files.

Hi Carl, I downloaded the latest dmg, installed but when I tried to verify the install I get this "zsh: command not found: java-version”

Where can I find OSX Sequoia install and run instructions?

First you need to install Java, then fetch and install YAAC.

You can get a supported Java runtime from;

To run YAAC you really only need the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) so scroll down the page until you see macOS, then select your system, ARM (Apple Silicon) or x86 (Intel). ?Grab whatever the latest LTS version is, currently v21. ?The click on the package dropdown and select ‘Full JRE’. ?I would download the DMG version, as that comes with the uninstaller if required.

Then, once it’s downloaded, double click on the DMG file, and then when it opens, double click on the “Install Liberica JRE…” package. ?Once it’s done, eject the DMG mounted volume.

You can see if it’s working by launching Terminal.app from Applications/Utilities and typing

java -version

Then, to install YAAC;

1.?Download the YAAC.zip file from??with your web browser.

2. Open Terminal.app from your Applications/Utilities folder.

3. type the following

mkdir YAAC

cd YAAC

unzip ~/Downloads/YAAC.zip

Heaps of stuff should scroll by, and at this point you should have it installed and ready for use. ?Type;

java -jar YAAC.jar

into the terminal to start it. ?See Andrew’s webpage at??for configuration and usage.

Next time you want to run it, you will need to launch the Terminal app again and then type in;

cd YAAC

java -jar YAAC.jar

Once you configure things it might generate a popup asking for permission for YAAC to access local network devices. ?If that appears, it’s safe to grant it that access.

You can also run it by double clicking on the YAAC.jar file in the YAAC folder in your home folder. ?Unfortunately the first time you do this it will trigger the Apple protections against people running random software. A popup will appear saying that Apple could not verify YAAC.jar is free of malware and only giving you the option of closing or moving to the bin. ?This is because YAAC isn’t an Apple developer signed program. ?Just close that dialogue and open System Settings from the Apple menu, Select Privacy & Security and then scroll down until you see the box saying “YAAC.jar” was blocked. ?Click on “Open Anyway” and then “Run” and it should start.

If that’s all too much, just run it from Terminal as listed above and it should work fine.
