Hi Philip, on MacOs you can use homebrew [1] for a convenient way to install basex 9.3.1
Using the .zip release of BaseX you have to make sure to invoke the startup scripts explicitely. For instance: $ cd /tmp $ wget http://files.basex.org/releases/9.3.1/BaseX931.zip $ unzip BaseX931.zip $ cd basex $ pwd /tmp/basex $ ./bin/basexhttp /private/tmp/basex/.basex: writing new configuration file.
