Older Intel-based Macs (with 32-bit processors) don't have Java 6 installed. This release is dependent upon Java 6; future releases will solve this incompatibility. However, Sophie 2 can be run on these machines if X11 is installed by installing SoyLatte, an open source version of Java 6. To run Sophie 2:
- Go here to download SoyLatte; read the instructions there.
- Unzip the SoyLatte zip file.
- Open Terminal and move the SoyLatte directory to /usr/bin/: mv soylatte16-i386-1.0.3 /usr/bin/.
- You may need to add the following to your .profile file to add SoyLatte to your path and to set the JAVA_HOME variable:
export PATH=/usr/local/soylatte16-i386-1.0.3/bin:$PATH; export PATH=/usr/local/apache-maven-2.1.0/bin:$PATH; export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH; export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/soylatte16-i386-1.0.3;
- Unzip Sophie2.app by double clicking Sophie2.app.zip in the sophie2-alpha-2 folder.
- Open Sophie2.app.
On newer Macs (with 64-bit processors), Sophie 2 can be run without installing SoyLatte. To do this, it's necessary to make sure that you're using Java 6.
- Open the application Java Preferences in /Applications/Utilities/Java/ and in the applications subpanel, drag Java SE 6 to the top:
- Unzip Sophie2.app by double clicking Sophie2.app.zip in the sophie2-alpha-2 folder.
- Open Sophie2.app.
