AEM Setup on MAC OS

[pixislinger]

I'm trying to setup AEM on my MACOS with Java 11 and I'm seeing the following error during the launch.

Hi @pixislinger ,

Most probably jar file is corrupt you may download another(latest sdk) and try https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/aem-local-server-error-whi...

If issue doesn't resolved.

try different patch version of java  https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8313765

Thanks,

Why you are installing a 2021 version? Is there any reason for that?, if not just download the latest version of the SDK and make sure to rename the JAR. 

Hope this helps

Try using the latest version SDK, you can get it from the software distribution portal.
Re-name it to "AEM-author-p4502" - "AEM" here is just a placeholder name, you can write anthing there.
"author" here is mandatory if you want to run on Author mode and p4502 is the port number, the letter p is optional here but mentioning it would specifically says that it is a port number.

try the command; java -jar AEM-author-p4502.jar

@pixislinger - Renaming the jar to aem-author-p4502.jar and running with java -jar aem-author-p4502.jar should help!

Hi @pixislinger ,

I did the AEM setup in MacOS recently. As like in windows, yu cannot double click on the Jar for the installation/ Startup. Also ensure your Java environment variables are set up in .zsh file. If you do it via command prompt/ Start script it will work fine. Just give it a try.
