Carl, I think permission/ownership is the problem. Not sure what I need to do. I substituted “user” for my userid.
Stan. I think you are onto something. I have always used the installers to install NB. Used this script for the first time. Took awhile to figure it out. I do see this: userid@Peters-MacBook-Air NetBeans % ls -l total 0 drwxrwxr-x 4 userid admin 128 Dec 6 13:50 Apache NetBeans 12.6.app drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 96 Mar 6 10:56 Apache NetBeans 13.app userid@Peters-MacBook-Air NetBeans % I see NB13 is owned by root where NB12.6 is owned by me. Could this be causing the issue? All checksums are in order. I have run into that quarantining issue before, but not sure that is the issue here. Peter
