Hello all, has anyone successfully installed CubeMX 4.17.0 on Mac OSX Sierra (10.12.1)? Every time I doubleclick the install it just bounces and then nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Yes, you need to install Java. 

On Sierra it works great, less filling (actually just the same)

I have both Java Developer packages and admin rights on my machine but still no joy.  What did end up working for me though was to right-click on the .app installer and open up the package contents. Inside the MACOS folder there is a Setup...  binary file, double-clicked it and magically the terminal pops up with a install script and voila it installs, weird.  

Hope this helps someone else.

I also had this problem on Sierra. Installed JDK, restarted, and the installer would quit without opening the wizard.

Ferguson.Samuel

has the result that worked for me. The second time I opened the binary in the terminal, the wizard opened, and I was able to install.

Thank you. This worked.

I am on macOS Sierra

I also saw that it worked only the 2nd time I launched it.

It did complain that it could not find /usr/share/applications.

Indeed that is a path which does not exist, and which the finder will not let me create.

Solution Found For Those With macOS High Sierra

First open this macro file inside the zipped package  `

en.stm32cubemx

`. `./

en.stm32cubemx/SetupSTM32CubeMX-4.25.0.app/Contents/MacOs/

SetupSTM32CubeMX-4_25_0_macos

`, this will open the installer.

It will by default try to install to `

/usr/share/applications.

`. This is incorrect. You need to find your application directory.

```

MacBook-Pro:en.stm32cubemx briankhuu$ cd ~/Applications/

MacBook-Pro:Applications briankhuu$ pwd

/Users/briankhuu/Applications

```

In my case it was `

/Users/briankhuu/Applications

`, you can then modify the application install directory during the install prompts.

This will then successfully install CUBEmx in macOS High Sierra.

Hope it helps
