Hey Pablo, A couple of things that may help:
1) When I double click on the zip file (in my case it had arrived in the downloads folder) then a folder named j901 appears in the downloads folder. This is the one that I drag. 2) On my mac the 'home' folder is actually the one with my name, so that the path is 'Mac HD/Users/bobtherriault'. Home does not actually show up at all, but the folder with my name is what I think of as the home folder. I am not sure that getting the file into the right folder would make a difference, but I suppose it is worth a try. One other step that I had to do was to allow the J app to run because it was from an unregistered source. This showed up as a message box which only alerted me to the situation. From there I needed to go to the Security and Privacy tab in the System Preferences app and explicitly allow J to run. It is possible that is the missign step, but I am not sure how J console would run if J was not already given permission. Hope this helps.
