How to install and run STM32CubeProgrammer on MacOS 13.4 Ventura?

[mikew67]

MacOS has evolved out from under the STM32CubeProgrammer for Mac installation process again. This issue was dealt with for an earlier version of macOS. Looking at this earlier posting, I was able to install the Programmer app from the command line, but with two issues:

1. At the end of the installation process, I get an error message that the "jre" file couldn't be found.
2. The installed app quits immediately without opening a window.

FYI, here's the version of JRE I have installed:

% java -version
openjdk version "20.0.1" 2023-04-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-20.0.1+9 (build 20.0.1+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-20.0.1+9 (build 20.0.1+9, mixed mode, sharing)
% 

I presume the current installation procedure will involve some variant of the earlier CLI process. Recommendations?

TIA

Mike

As a partial answer to my question, a useful hint can be found in the ReadMe file for the Cube MX app:

In case of error, try one of the following fixes: - $sudo xattr -cr ~/SetupSTM32CubeMX-6.8.1.app

For the current case, using the command line, go to the folder containing the Setup app and execute:

sudo xattr -cr SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-2.13.0.app

Then run the Setup... app. It will run OK, but complain that it can't install in the /Applications folder. The recommended alternative, my Users home folder, works, but is a rather strange place to put a macOS app. The app won't show up in Launchpad; you'll have to put a link to it somewhere handy that you can double-click on.

Recommendations:

1. Please correct the above procedure to meet your recommendations.
2. Please update the installation process for all STM32 Cube tools for current macOS releases (Ventura and prior).
3. Please add a ReadMe file for all of these installers with at least as much detail as the MX installer.

Thanks,

Mike
