The j805_mac64.dmg works perfectly on OSX Mavericks and El Capitan. I tried to install it on the new version, Sierra, and it doesn't work. Double-clicking jqt(.app) does nothing, even when you right-click open (required for first run on earlier versions of osx). Opening a terminal and starting jqt.command, the jqt terminal opens but none of the menu items can be selected.
The problem is that Apple made changes to Gatekeeper in Sierra. First, it disables applications from unregistered developers. Then, if you do copy one from a dmg, it randomizes the location of the app-giving the behavior described above. Here is a workaround: From a terminal do sudo spctl --master-disable Now open the j805_mac64.dmg and copy the j64-805 folder to your home directory. Right-click open the jqt.app. J will start and everything will work fine. You can re-enable Gatekeeper by running sudo spctl --master-enable Your J install will continue to work.
