Hi,
If we manage to install BaseX on a MacBook, chances are great that we will use BaseX dor our final project.
I know how to install BaseX on linux but I have no experience with Apple. My fellow-students know how to use applications but don't know how to deal with java-applications.
My question is if BaseX can be used on a MacBook. If so, where can I find instructions?
Cheers, Ben Engbers
Hi Ben,
it's quite easy to run BaseX on macOS. First, you should have Java 8 or greater installed.
Then there are, at least, two options: ZIP or homebrew
ZIP:
- Download [1] BaseX stable or the latest snapshot as .zip - Unzip and run ./bin/basex, ./bin/basexgui …
homebrew [2]:
homebrew calls itself "The missing package manager for macOS"
- Install homebrew - Install basex via homebrew - $ brew install basex # installs basex stable - $ brew install --devel basex # installs basex latest - In future upgrading to a new basex version would be: - $ brew upgrade basex
Cheers, Alex
