Running Studio on a Mac?

If you’re using Mac OS X Mountain Lion, there are two extra consideration to be mindful of when running Mule Studio.

==== Java Runtime Environment

Check to confirm that Java runtime environment 6 or 7 is in place on your system. From the command line (Terminal app), run: ` java -version`

The response should appear similar to the following:

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_43-b01-447-11M4203)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-447, mixed mode)

If a Java runtime environment is not installed, the command triggers a prompt to install the JDK tools directly from Apple. Follow the instructions to download and install JDK 6 or 7.

==== Application Execution

By default, Mac OS X restricts execution of applications acquired outside the Apple App Store. Because you download Mule Studio outside the App Store, your system may prevent you from running Mule Studio applications and issue a warning message advising you to change your security settings to proceed. (Note: you must have Administrator privileges to adjust the security settings.)

  1. On your Mac, open System Preferences, then navigate to Security & Privacy.

  2. In the General tab, under "Allow applications downloaded from:" select the radio button for Anywhere.
