How to download STM32CubeProgrammer on MacOS Monterey 12.6

[SLenn.2]

I am trying to download STM32CubeProgrammer on MacOS Monterey 12.6 in order to program a STM32F103C8T6 ARM (BluePill) microcontroller. I followed the directions on this post, but I'll outline what I did exactly.

I first uninstalled java:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin  

sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane  

sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Oracle/Java/ 

sudo rm -rf /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines 

 

I then installed jdk-8u231-macosx-x64.

Which downloads a different version of Java than the post I was following which I suspect could be part of the problem. I also didn't download the JMC separate download. Not sure if that matters.

I then downloaded the STM32CubeProgrammer for Mac. Tossed the folder on my desktop, and changed directory to this folder

I then ran the command:

sudo java -jar SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-2.12.0.exe

Which brings up the installation wizard for the STM32CubeProgrammer. I followed this and downloaded it to this default location:

/Applications/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer

Downloaded these files:

 

But it gives me this error:

 

With these details:

 

Not sure why it's looking for jre 3 parent directories back. I tried to move the jre file there but it's giving me this error:

What am I doing wrong? Thank you so much in advance for the help. This is for a school project team and I can really use the help.

Hello @SLenn.2​ , @Community member​ , @TJone.5​ ,

Thanks for your feedback,

Adding to what my collegue @KHALSI_Foued​ referred to, you can also try one of the following solutions:

1- Install CubeProgrammer using the command:

sudo xattr -cr ~/SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-macos.app

2- In case you used the .exe installer (sudo java -jar SetupSTM32CubeProgrammer-2.12.0.exe.) and the popup occurs during the install indicating the following:

""

cp: en.stm32cubeprg-mac_v2-12-0/../../../jre: No such file or directory

Continue Installation?

""

Continue the installation and copy the downloaded jre folder manually into the CubeProg install folder. To do so, please follow the steps below:

- Copy the jre folder from the downloaded en.stm32cubeprg-mac_v2-12-0

- Open CubeProgrammer install folder

- Right click on STM32CubeProgrammer.app and select "Show Package Contents"

- Paste the jre folder

3- After the install, if CubeProgrammer couldn't be launched via GUI, please try to lanch it via CLI as follows,

- Navigate to the /Applications/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/STM32CubeProgrammer.app/Contents/MacOs/bin/

- type the command:

java -jar STM32CubeProgrammer

- If the jre folder exists in CubeProgrammer install folder, type the following command:

../../../jre/bin/java -jar STM32CubeProgrammer

I hope this helps!

Sara.
