--------------------------------------------
Summary: Couldn't install nifi as service on a Mac OS (OS X El
Capitan 10.11.6)
Key: NIFI-4464
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4464
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Configuration
Reporter: Karthikeyan Govindaraj
Attachments: Screen Shot 2017-10-04 at 10.04.55 AM.png
Installed the NiFi via HomeBrew on my Mac laptop with *OS X (El Capital v
10.11.6)* and ran the _start / run_ commands, gave the expected result.
But when I say `*nifi install*` , I couldn't do so. It gave the following
message.
`*_Installing Apache NiFi as a service is not supported on OS X or Cygwin._*`
and I could see, that the *nifi.sh *says the above message if it detected the
OS as _*Darwin*_ (
https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/master/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-framework-bundle/nifi-framework/nifi-resources/src/main/resources/bin/nifi.sh#L59
)
and unfortunately the OS X is Darwin. But in the "*Getting Started with Apache
NiFi*", it says installing nifi as a service is supported for OS X users. (Link
