Install Genero Studio on macOS (GUI installer)

Procedure to install Genero Studio 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 GST system requirements.

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

You must have Java installed. You will be asked to provide the Java directory as part of the installation.

You need the GST .dmg package. For example: fjs-gst-3.xx.xx-buildxxxxxx-m64xxxx.dmg, where the "x" are placeholders for version and build numbers.

Genero packages for Apple® Mac® and the macOS operating system are provided as x86 packages, which are designed to run on Intel® processors. Rosetta enables a Mac with Apple silicon to use apps built for a Mac with an Intel processor. If you are using such a machine, you will be asked to install Rosetta the first time you install or open your Genero app. Rosetta works automatically in the background whenever you use an app that was built only for Mac computers with an Intel processor. It translates the app for use with Apple silicon. If Rosetta is already installed, you are not asked to install it again.

About this task

Follow these instructions to install Genero Studio.

  1. Double-click on the dmg package in the finder.
    The dmg mounts. You have a new icon on your desktop with the same name as the package (fjs-gst-3.10.00-buildxxxxxx-m64x106, for example).
  2. Double click on the new icon.
    It will display a new window containing fjs-gst-3.10.00-buildxxxxxx-m64x106.pkg.
  3. Double click on the fjs-gst-3.10.00-buildxxxxxx-m64x106.pkg to launch the installation process.
    The GUI installer can be installed GST in /Applications or $HOME/Applications. You can have several GST installed in the same time.
  4. Follow the installation instructions presented by the wizard.
What to do next

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

Note:

In your Java SDK environment set, ensure the JAVA_HOME environment variable specifies the location of the Java directory.
