installing on macbook pro

newbie here:

I'm struggling getting the desktop version to run on a macbook pro (O/s X). I've downloaded the zip file and drug the file into the applications folder. Using terminal, I entered the chmod +x oruxmapsdesktop.command entry.

Subsequently executing the oruxmapsdesktop.command, I get an error message that reads that it is unable to locate the oruxmapsdesktop.jar file. All the files are in the folder OruxMapsDesktop in the applications folder.

FYI, I changed the .sh file extension to .command. For whatever reason, If I keep the .sh file extension and try to run it, it just opens the oruxmapsdesktop.sh file in the text editor, by renaming it to .command it at least tries to execute.

I did get it to execute - I had to edit the oruxmapsdesktop.command file to point to the directory. i.e. I edited the file to read

"java -Xmx1024m -jar /Applications/OruxMapsDesktop-1/OruxMapsDesktop.jar" .


Now the error is that the program can't use the ozi20rux.txt file or the datums.txt file. They are both in the same folder as the oruxmapsdesktop.jar file

This is the error report:

Hi, John;

I do not know Mac very well. Try running the .jar file from the directory where is the .jar.

Open a cmd window,
Navigate to OruxMapsDesktop folder
Then: java -Xmx1024m -jar OruxMapsDesktop.jar

Thanks for answering, this technique results in the same error.

Hi John,

OMD worked on my Macbook (10.7), I just downloaded it to my Downloads folder, opened a Terminal, did "cd DOwnloads/OruxMapsDesktop" and the executed the .sh script. Maybe the application does not have appropriate rights in /Appliaction - in installation is usually not needed when you just have jar file.

That seemed to work. Thank you.
