Install Genero BDL on macOS

Before you begin

The installation and licensing of Genero products requires you to read and accept the End User License Agreement, which can be found on the Four Js website at http://4js.com/end-user-license-agreements/.

Review the Genero BDL software requirements.

You need a macOS™ and an user account which has administrator access level.

Download the installation package for the macOS .

If you plan to license Genero BDL during the installation process, ensure you have the license number, license key, and maintenance number available.

About this task

Follow these instructions to install the Genero BDL on macOS.

Determine the directory where you will install the product.
The wizard will eventually suggest /opt/fourjs/fgl. If you plan to use this default, ensure you have write permission to this directory.
Log in as a user with permission to write to the directory in which you plan to install this product.
Copy the self-extractable file into a temporary directory.
From a command prompt, run the self-extractable shell script with the -i option:
```
sh fjs-fgl-3.xx.xx-buildxxxxxx-m64x1011.run -i
```
Note: The "x" entries in the file name example above must use the actual numbers of the downloaded file!
Follow the instructions displayed.

Tip: After you have read the licensing agreement, press "q" to return to the instructions and prompts.

At some point in the instructions, you will be asked whether you wish to provide the licensing details for the Genero Business Development Language. If you skip this step during the installation, you can always go back later to provide the licensing details.

When asked about providing the licensing details for the Genero Report Engine, you can choose to not license the GRE. A GRE license is not necessary if you have a Genero BDL license with maintenance support.

What to do next

When installation is complete, see the Genero Business Development Language User Guide for configuration information and instructions.
