openHAB 3 Startup Issue on Mac OS X

[markymark (Mark Baumann)]

Hello,

i wanted to test the new openHAB on a Mac Book Air (OS 10.15.4)

Actually there are some errors.
Java 11 is already installed an the path is set with the right environment.

Does anyone know why?

I didn´t change anything in the startup script. The path to the files is relative.

Check whether you have somehow messed up your $PATH environment variable:

dirname (that´s what the error message says) cannot be found by the start.sh script.

$PATH (always) includes /usr/bin, that´s where „dirname“ resides.

if a „which dirname“ does not show „/usr/bin/dirname“ there is most likely something wrong with your $PATH variable.
Either fix it in your shell‘s „rc“ file, or spell out the full path name of dirname in their start.sh script.

Hope this helps
Clemens

With Oracle Java 11 it works now on my System.
I recommend using Oracle Java on Mac OS. Java SE Development Kit 11- - Downloads
