Hello Katya,
It's probably easiest to use the zip <https://www.gocd.org/download/#zip>,
instead of the Mac application, in this case. That way, you can unzip it
anywhere and use it as any user, not just root.
I've seen that java.awt.HeadlessException before. It's happening because
the Mac app's GUI launcher is being launched from a service (when you add
it to LaunchDaemon). With the zip, you shouldn't see it since there is no
launcher. If you really want to stick with the Mac app, you'll need to set
the Java system property: "java.awt.headless" in overrides.env:
So, depending on which user you want to use, the file
"~/Library/Application\ Support/Go Agent/overrides.env" will need to have
something like this:
PROPERTIES=$(printf "%s\n%s" "$PROPERTIES" "-Djava.awt.headless=true")
It seems like it'll be easier to just use the zip and not have to deal with
this. :)
Cheers,
Aravind
