There are positives and negatives to this, but I won’t get into that.

JAVA MAC OS X EL CAPITAN INSTALL

There are many applications that use Java unbeknownst to the user because it is bundled in the application, and does not require the user to install Java on their computer. The JDK is intended for application developers, so it doesn’t make sense to automatically add the ability to launch Java applications when you install it for development. I think the recommended way to ship Java applications is to bundle the JRE with the application. Sudo mkdir -p /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundleĭon’t forget to enable SIP again after creating these directories. Sudo mkdir -p /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk If you’ve disabled SIP, or are not running El Capitan yet, you can trick some applications into thinking legacy Java 6 is installed by creating two folders with the following commands in Terminal:

I have written a post explaining how to disable and enable SIP. If you’re running El Capitan, this is actually a little difficult now, because Apple added SIP (System Integrity Protection) to OS X. You can have it installed without actually using it, however, it’s possible to trick the applications into thinking legacy Java 6 is installed, without actually doing so.

If it does not work, some applications require legacy Java 6 to be installed. You should be done now, so try and open the application. This will get the latest installed Java’s home directory by default, but check out man java_home for ways to easily get other Java home directories. bash_profile like Jared suggests:Įcho "export JAVA_HOME=\`/usr/libexec/java_home\`" > ~/.bash_profile The recommended way is to use /usr/libexec/java_home program, so I recommend setting JAVA_HOME in your.

Optional: If you’re actually using the JDK for software development, you may want to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

/jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib libserver.dylib Sudo mkdir -p Contents/Home/bundle/Libraries

Create a link to add backwards compatibility for some applications made for older Java versions:.

The fourth line is not required, but makes the file more user-friendly if you open it again in a text editor. The third line fixes a permissions issue create by using defaults write. Sudo defaults write "`pwd`/Contents/ist" JavaVM -dict-add 'JVMCapabilities' 'JNIBundledAppCommandLine'

Edit the JDK’s newly installed ist file to enable the included JRE to be used from the the command line, and from bundled applications:Ĭd `ls -1d /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.*.jdk | sort -rn -t _ -k 1.42 -k 2 | head -1`.

You should end up with a file named something similar to jdk-8u60-macosx-圆4.dmg, but perhaps a newer version.

Go to the Oracle Java downloads page and download the JDK installer.

The instructions for installing the JDK (Java Development Kit) are a subset of the instructions for installing just the JRE, because Oracle provides an installer for the JDK. My previous post about installing Java on OS X received quite a bit of traffic, and I felt that some of the information was outdated, and it became a little unclear after all the edits, so I’ve endeavoured to create a much easier to understand set of instructions.
