You can drag the folder by clicking, holding and then dragging the little white icon at the top of the disk image finder window. We suggest that you drag the entire folder into your Applications folder (either the main Applications folder or the one in your user folder). At this point the applications are still on the ‘disk’ created by the disk image. Installing BEASTĭouble-clicking the disk image file will open the a virtual ‘disk’ in a Finder window. The Mac version of BEAST is not yet compatible with Java 10. This version of Java will not be able to run BEAST.

Warning: Do not install the Java software offered on the website. Once installed, you will automatically get updates to the latest version. If you want to compile Java code you can install the JDK (Java Development Kit) instead. Download and install the ‘JRE’ - this is the Java Runtime Environment. To get the latest version of Java you will need to download the Java JDK from. This will download an installer which will install Java and you are ready to go (you won’t need to restart the machine). You can download the ‘legacy’ Java 6 from here. The former option is easier but the latest Java may give slightly better performance. Alternatively, you can install the latest version of Java which is distributed free by Oracle. BEAST currently requires at least version 6 of Java and this can still be installed as an optional package from Apple.
Apple java osx mac os#
Older versions of Mac OS had Java installed by default but this is no longer the case. To run BEAST on Mac OS X, you will need to have Java installed. The latest version of BEAST can always be found here: Installing JAVA

So avoid running mysterious Java apps you know nothing about. Trojan horse Java applications are possible. Just be sure you run Java apps, off the Internet, from reliable developers. NOTE: Running Java applications off the Internet is not typically a problem. But for the sake of simplicity and the ability to reinstate the Java Plug-In whenever you may want to actually use it on the Internet, I'd leave everything else in place. There are other Java bits and pieces you could trash. Java now cannot run in them over the Internet, which is where Java is particularly dangerous. I have them in a folder labeled "Internet Plug-ins (disabled)" inside the Library folder.ģ) QUIT and restart all your web browsers. I advise that you store these files somewhere, just in case you want to use them later for some odd purpose. Yes, that includes Apple's own alias file "ugin". A quick and simple way to DISABLE running JAVA over the Internet (if you have Admin privileges):Ģ) Remove from this directory everything listed as 'Java'.
