[enea]

Hi,i'm sorry for my bad english.

I have a Imac with osx 19.9.9 and java 8.31.

When i open Terminal and write

~/Desktop/nand2tetris/tools/HardwareSimulator.sh

i have this reply:
No Java runtime present, requesting install.

and it's open a toolbox that ask me to install at least JAVA SE 6 - BUT I HAVE 8.31!!

Someone can help me?

It sounds like Java may not be on your path. From the console, what is the output of:

which java

[enea]

this is the output

iMac-di-Enea:~ Enea$ which java
/usr/bin/java
iMac-di-Enea:~ Enea$

[ybakos]

And what about:

java -version

[ybakos]

This is a rather complicated issue due to the way Java is now handled on OSX. You might also want to see this thread.

java -version
