NativeScript Advanced Setup: macOS. This page contains a list of all system requirements needed to build and run NativeScript apps on macOS, as well as a guided walkthrough for getting these requirements in place. Download the JDK.dmg file, jdk-9. Before the file can be downloaded, you must accept the license agreement. From either the browser Downloads window or from the file browser, double-click the.dmg file to start it.
The following are the system requirements for installing the JDK and the JRE on macOS:
Any Intel-based computer running macOS.
Administrator privileges.
You cannot install Java for a single user. Installing the JDK and JRE on macOS is performed on a systemwide basis for all users. Administrator privileges are required to install the JDK and JRE on macOS.
When you install the JDK, it also installs the JRE. However, the system will not replace the current JRE with a lower version.
To determine the current JRE version installed on your system, see Determining the JRE Version Installed on macOS. To install an earlier version of the JRE, you must first uninstall the current version. See Uninstalling the JRE on macOS.
When you install the JRE, you can install only one JRE on your system at a time. The system will not install a JRE that has an earlier version than the current version.
To determine the current JRE version installed on your system, see Determining the JRE Version Installed on macOS. To install an earlier version of the JRE, you must first uninstall the current version. See Uninstalling the JRE on macOS.
Note:
Installing a JRE from Oracle will not update
java -versionsymlinks or addjavato your path. To do this, you must install the JDK.
While working with Ionic and PhoneGap or let's say anything related to Cordova, I ran into an error requiring Java JDK 1.8 which is required to run the build command. It took a bit of searching to find a concise explanation of how this is done on Mac OSx High Sierra.
The Steps
First find the proper Java Development Kit which is a little confusing because the original error referred to installing JDK 1.8 which which is actually JDK8. Install the following through the standard .dmg method. I found the download here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
Next you want to see which version(s) of Java you have available, you can do this with the following command which returned the two versions listed below for me. By default I was using the 9.0.4 version.
Once we have these listed, we can use the following to install the version we want to use. Notice the use of the version listed above. Also notice that the statement uses the back tick not a single quote (found with the tilde).
Now we can run the following command to see which Java version is running on our system.
Install Java Jdk Mac
Which should return something like this:
Conclusion
Java Jdk For Mac
Again, it seems pretty straight forward and it is but before some research it was still a little unclear. This will last until you reboot your computer and will revert back to the default Java version. I think this is good practice so that anything using the default version can use it and I can switch the version when I'm in code mode developing apps.
