Aris installation on Linux and Mac OS

Hi Tim.

I'm new in Mac OSX world :-) (just purchased Macbook Pro). I do not want to run ARIS via Parallels if it is possible to run it natively -  so I have few questions, and this case is EXTREMILY important for me:

1. After installing tar compressor and running sudo ln /bin/tar /bin/gtar I receive "ln: /bin/tar: No such file or directory" Maybe I should install specific version of tar? Can You help me here?

2. I can not find the jvm path in mentioned installation file :-(. Can You help me with that? Maybe screenshot can help?

PS

I managed to install aris on linux ubuntu :-), but it seams workaround for mac is diferent from what I had done there.

Hi Jarek,

do you have managed the installation on ubuntu with the workaround above?

 

1. It seems to be so that, your tar is on an other position, possible would be /usr/bin/tar.

The command: "whereis tar" should tell you where it is.

 

2. realy? O_o

"grep jvmPath install_ARIS_72.631018.sh" is writing nothing to the commandline?

Then simply try to ignore step 3) and 5)

Because I don't have a Mac I can't send you screenshots or similar. I only could help you via Teamviewer in the evening.

Hi,

after symbolic link it was possible to run installation file. In linux it is enough, but it seams that for mac osx - a change in starting script must be done. Problem from mac terminal looks like that:

#!/bin/sh

I think the java version from the aris install doesn't work under MacOS. Therefore it is necessary to tell the installation script where your local java environment is.

"whereis java" should tell you where it is. (i believe it's on /usr/)

-> change line 12

  > jvmPath=`grep "jvmPath.*=.*" "$LAUNCHER_CFG" | sed 's/.*jvmPath[ \t]*\=[ \t]*\"\([^\"]*\)\"/\1#/g' | awk -F \# '{ print $1 }'`

to > jvmPath=/usr/

 

Hi.

I tried with

jvmPath=/usr/

and

jvmPath=/usr/bin/java

and

jvmPath=/Library/Java/Home

Always I receive result like below:

[Process completed]

try to go into the correct directory. I am sorry, otherwise I have no idea, because i don't have MacBook to test it. i only know that the first manual was working for my fellow students.

 

> cd /Users/jarek/Desktop/ARIS7.2/JavaClient.589499/; ./ARIS\ Business\ Architect\ 7.2.command

:-)

OK, I installed ARIS Business Architect on Mac :-).

1. I had only old mac (not the intel/retina) with Snow Leopard. When I will put my hands on the new one - I'll let You know.

2. Changing paths in script CAN NOT give anything, cause binarry files are compiled not for mac, and even after adapting all of them I was facing "binary" problem.

3. What I have done to install ARIS?

a) Install TAR GUI (small aplication for mac - free, with tar compressor)

b) In terminal run something like this: ln -sv $(which tar) gtar

Now you can run aris installation file for linux (of course use sh command).

4. What I have done to configure "lounching" script. After installing aris you'll find in catalog few files with nice names (aris architect, aris designer etc). Open file you want to configure with text ecitor:

a) Change the line jvmPath into...whatever!!!! It can be jvmPath=/I hate windows/

Close the file

5) Install JRE:

- start terminal

- type: java -version

if You have no JRE - it will ask if You want to install - do it.

6. Now just start script using commend: sh

Aris script will say something like - build in java corrupted - using system one (the one you have just installed). And vuala - works :-)

to 2) of course the java binarys from the install script doesn't work under mac os. but the java bytecode should not care about an OS. that is the reason why i was writing that you should change the jvm path to your java binarys. but that doesn't matter now :-).

i am glad to hear that you manage the installation :-)

could you tell me the version of your installation script (the original scriptname)? after that i would like to add your points in the first post. :-)

It was install_ARIS_72.589499.sh

works here with 10.8.2 and Java version: 1.6.0_37

Thanks for the tuto

Hey,

thank you for the tutorial, I installed ARIS on my MacBook. Is there a way to activate the local server for  Business Architect?

I tried to set localserver in the sh-file from false to true, but no success.

Back to java 1.6.x first :

if you're using java 7 you'll have to go back to java 6  : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559

if you're under 10.6.8 : Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 13

if under 10.7 or 10.8 : Java for OS X 2013-001

How to for 7.2.4 (no change in fact)

First installation only

0) with terminal.app (In Applications/utilities)

type sudo ln -s /usr/bin/bsdtar /usr/bin/gtar Enter (password asked) to add the needed symbolic link

All installation

1) Download last compressed installer : install_ARIS_72.746019.zip (unix 7.2 aris release.zip for example), unzip it

2) put the installer install_ARIS_72.746019.sh on Desktop

in terminal.app :

3) type cd ~/Desktop

4) drag and drop the install_ARIS_72.746019.sh on terminal.app windows

   a new folder is created on desktop : ARIS7.2

5) open that folder /Desktop/ARIS7.2/JavaClient.746019

6) Open ARIS Business Designer 7.2.sh with TextEdit.app (drag & drop)

Change the line jvmPath to jvmPath='/Library/Java/Home' then save

in terminal.app :

7) cd ~/Desktop/ARIS7.2/JavaClient.746019

8) chmod 755 ~/Desktop/ARIS7.2/JavaClient.746019/ARIS\ Business\ Designer\ 7.2.sh 

in finder.app : 

drag and drop on terminal the modified xxxx.sh

    starting Starting Client 7.2.4.746019 :)

    serialize with your key :)

--------

I think that the genuine .sh for unix would work directly for OS X

if Software AG change 2 points :

1) in the "install_ARIS_72.xxxxxx.sh"

if OS=OS X : sudo ln -s /usr/bin/bsdtar /usr/bin/gtar to add the symbolic link

2) in the ARIS Business Architect 7.2.sh, ARIS Business Designer 7.2.sh...

if OS=OS X : jvmPath='/Library/Java/Home'

i don't know i to code it in both case but they surely could ;)

Enjoy that last 7.2.4 on your favorite OS : OS X

tested on 10.6.8 and 10.8.2 (Intel CPU) with java 1.6

I am able to complete step 7 where i run the last .sh command. 

But when it asks me to enter my key, there is an issue because I am not able to paste the license from my clipboard on to the applet.

It is a long key.

tried the java.policy solution but still no resolution.

Any help?

This solved the issue with the copy paste onto the applet.

Hi, I ask you a little help to download ARIS Business Architect on MAC OS. Most of my students have a MAC, and I've no idea of the procedure for installing ARIS on their clients. Can you write a very very simple procedure to get ARIS correctly running on their PCs. I've gone through the forum discussion but I find the posts very technical. Can you help us?

Many thanks

@Elisa : did you read the post i made?

APya attention a access to Aris Server is needed. Is that acesss possible (firewall...)?

did someone succeed in installing 9.6 release on OS X ?

How to would be welcome :)

Aris 7.2 still ok under OS X 10.11 :)

aris express too

Hi everyone,

I face a lot of problems while trying to unzip and instal ARIS 9 in my Laptop by the way it is a Mac book Pro retina and I can not do anything, I am in the last step of my PhD and I have to use it, so if anyone of you can help me in this issue I will be really thankful,

PS: I am not a conputer file students , so plz can you explain it to me without informatics code

Thank you!!

Dear Sabrina,

ARIS 9 is not meant to be installed on a Mac. Please read on http://www.ariscommunity.com/university/faq#whichOS which operations systems are supported. The advise about Mac was valid only for ARIS 7.

And please post your questions are student (=user of the ARIS Education Package) in the University Relations forum: http://www.ariscommunity.com/forums/university-relations

Cheers

Rune
