Running osbot on my Mac

[KRSGSB]

Hi guys,

I am as new as it can get to the botting scene. Last night I downloaded the osbot.jar client and tried running it on my Mac.

all it did was open up all the folders inside (as can be seen on the first screenshot).

After some digging I found that you can open up the osbot.jar file by using 'java -jar (*)' in Terminal. (The (*) is the osbot client).

So I tried this and i got the error message that can be seen on screenshot 2.

I have no clue what to do now (my Java is up-to-date)

 

Sorry if i posted this in the wrong section!

 

Thanks in regards,

I think mac does not run .JAR files through Java VM by default.

Most likely had to right click the .JAR file -> View info, and change the default action for the .JAR

I've had some trouble in the beginning aswell running it on mac, my solution was delete everything java related and download it again from java official site. 
somehow things can get corrupted.

I think I did the same as you in different steps, but I honestly have no idea - not a big computer guy

So the problem for me was that whenever i wanted to open the osbot.jar it would unarchive the jar. Which results in emptying the .jar instead of running it.

 

Solution: 1) open finder and go to 'go' and then 'go to folder...' at the the bottom and paste; /System/Library/CoreServices/Jar Launcher.app

              2) open finder, go to machintosh HD - system - library - CoreServices - Jar Launcher.app 

Once you've found the Jar Launcher.app, you can use it to open the osbot.jar. After doing it once, your mac will continue to open the file with Jar Launcher.
