Bill, My problem was kind of the opposite of your guess at the problem. I have installed many systems in linux, always in /usr/local/[lib|bin] I always install them belonging to me but available for all users.
What I screwed up on this time was that I ran a jsession under sudo and a /usr/local/lib/j901/addons/config was created belonging to root when I ran 'install' jpkg 'all'. Removing the config directory and running 'install' jpkg 'all' in a normal j session worked as I expected. Thanks for your nudges to look at permissions. - joey > On 2019May 29, at 17:11, bill lam <[email protected]> wrote: > > If install or addons folder is located not under user home but /usr or > /opt etc. Then it needs to sudo jc to get update using pacman. > > you can check the path of addons by typing inside jconsole session. > > jpath '~addons' > > also other basic info from the noun > > JVERSION > > > On Thu, May 30, 2019, 2:18 AM Joey K Tuttle <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I just did the download, unzip and move to Applications in osx mojave >> 10.14.6 (beta) >> >> Unlike Raul, I didn't experience any surprises. >> >> The symbolic link I use to launch j - >> >> jb -> /Applications/j901/bin/jconsole >> >> Worked with no change >> >> I'm happy 😉 but admit that I don't use jqt or jhs ... >> >> Your mileage may vary. >> >> Not so happy with my results in Linux where, after moving my profiles etc. >> j launches and runs ok but when I try to install addons I get - >> >> [jkt@localhost jstuff]$ jb >> load 'pacman' >> 'status' jpkg '' >> Local JAL information has never been updated. >> >> 'install' jpkg 'all' >> tar: addons.txt: Cannot open: Permission denied >> tar: library.txt: Cannot open: Permission denied >> tar: release.txt: Cannot open: Permission denied >> tar: revision.txt: Cannot open: Permission denied >> tar: zips.txt: Cannot open: Permission denied >> tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors >> Could not install the local repository catalog. >> Could not install the local repository catalog. >> >> Are we having fun yet? >> >> >>> On 2019May 29, at 10:21, Raul Miller <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> Note (osx mojave 10.14.4) >>> >>> Installing the full zip on osx requires re-authorizing the unzipped >>> jconsole.app, jhs.app and jqt.app. Also, jbrk.app seems to hang (but >>> doesn't seem to require re-authorization). >>> >>> Also, I have selected "Prefer tabs when opening documents: Always" in >>> Dock settings, and the current jconsole.app rather annoyingly resizes >>> the window which gets the new tab when I open jconsole.app or jhs.app. >>> >>> FYI, >>> >>> -- >>> Raul >>> >>> On Wed, May 29, 2019 at 12:33 PM Eric Iverson <[email protected]> >> wrote: >>>> >>>> J901 beta g is available as a zip install package for >> windows/mac/linux/rpi. >>>> >>>> There are JE performance changes. >>>> >>>> There are changes to jconsole (better support for readline on all >>>> platforms).
