Joey, Thanks very much for sending that encouraging message. I launched jconsole (btw, it's my favorite mode for using j, too) and entered the following lines as suggested in jwiki at http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/JHS/Server
load'~addons/ide/jhs/installer.ijs' shortcut 0 The first line executed fine, but got an error on the second. But I remembered the suggestion Bill (I think) made to change the second line as follows. shortcut 'jhs' That worked as you said, creating a launch icon on my desktop which worked perfectly. So I clicked on that launch icon and duplicated it with Command+D, and renamed the resulting copy to be 65002 instead of jhs806 because that is what Eric suggested for the new 65002.cfg file. I then right clicked on the the new launch icon and requested "Show Package Contents" and selected and editted the apprun file below using macVim. The edit simple replaced the word `jhs.cfg` to `65002.cfg`. That makes the `65002` launch icon work perfectly. server:~ brian$ cd /Users/brian/Desktop/65002.app server:65002.app brian$ ls -al * total 8 drwxr-xr-x 5 brian staff 170 Sep 4 23:28 . drwxr-xr-x 3 brian staff 102 Sep 4 23:28 .. drwxr-xr-x 4 brian staff 136 Sep 4 23:38 MacOS drwxr-xr-x 3 brian staff 102 Sep 4 23:28 Resources -rwxr-xr-x 1 brian staff 492 Sep 4 23:28 info.plist server:65002.app brian$ ls -al */Macos total 32 drwxr-xr-x 4 brian staff 136 Sep 4 23:38 . drwxr-xr-x 5 brian staff 170 Sep 4 23:28 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 brian staff 12288 Sep 4 23:32 .apprun.swp -rwxr-xr-x 1 brian staff 313 Sep 4 23:38 apprun server:65002.app brian$ Thanks, again, On Mon, Sep 4, 2017 at 10:04 PM, Joey K Tuttle <[email protected]> wrote: > Brian, > > I had some initial trouble getting j806 beta5 up in Sierra, but once I > found the launch icons the installation had produced (on my Desktop...) > they all seem to work as expected. > > That said, 99% of my interactions with J are using the CLI in Terminal (I > greatly prefer the line recall and editing things there) and that worked > fine with my simple installation - even reusing the symbolic links I had > set up during a previous installation.
