I'd like to take a stab at building a MacOS installer using jDeploy. I'm
having trouble getting the binary ZIP version running on my Mac though.
I downloaded this:
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/netbeans/netbeans/13/netbeans-13-bin.zip
I unzip and run it and this is the output I get.
----
Steves-Mac-Pro:netbeans shannah$ ./bin/netbeans
Unknown option: n
Usage: head [-options] <url>...
-m <method> use method for the request (default is 'HEAD')
-f make request even if head believes method is illegal
-b <base> Use the specified URL as base
-t <timeout> Set timeout value
-i <time> Set the If-Modified-Since header on the request
-c <conttype> use this content-type for POST, PUT, CHECKIN
-a Use text mode for content I/O
-p <proxyurl> use this as a proxy
-P don't load proxy settings from environment
-H <header> send this HTTP header (you can specify several)
-u Display method and URL before any response
-U Display request headers (implies -u)
-s Display response status code
-S Display response status chain
-e Display response headers

-o <format> Process HTML content in various ways
-v Show program version
-h Print this message
-x Extra debugging output

Mac OS Majave 10.14.6
I must be missing something obvious. Can anyone spot my mistake?
