Unable to run iReport on Mac Machine

[Ankur Gupta]

Hi ,

Please if someone can help me setting up ireport on Mac environment. 

The steps I followed until now are

1. Downloaded the iReport 5.6.0 dmg file 

2. Set up Java in my machine, also set the Java Home (FYI I am using the JDK 1.7u71)

3. I also checked the value of the Java Home echoing from the terminal it is set to --> /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_71.jdk/Contents/Home 

4. Then I tried setting the jdkhome switch in the iReport.conf file which is found in the Contents/Resources/ireport/etc/ folder to 
jdkhome = "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_71.jdk/Contents/Home/” 

Still I am not able to launch iReport.
I am using Mac OS Yosemite

It would be really great If someone could point on the things which I might be missing then that would be great

Thanks

I found a resolve by testing out few things.

when I looked into this problem I found you need to give the superuser permission.

you can do this by going to the terminal and type

chmod -R 777 <installer file name>

 

Thanks
