Mike Thomsen updated NIFI-4464:
-------------------------------
Description:
Original bug report:
{quote}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
->
[https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/getting-started.html#installing-as-a-service])
{quote}
Given that we do have work arounds for this on OS X, I am going to update the
documentation instead of writing an OS X-specific service handler.
