Hi Ben,

it's quite easy to run BaseX on macOS.
First, you should have Java 8 or greater installed.

Then there are, at least, two options: ZIP or homebrew

ZIP:

- Download [1] BaseX stable or the latest snapshot as .zip
- Unzip and run ./bin/basex, ./bin/basexgui …

homebrew [2]:

homebrew calls itself "The missing package manager for macOS"

- Install homebrew
- Install basex via homebrew
  - $ brew install basex   # installs basex stable
  - $ brew install --devel basex   # installs basex latest
- In future upgrading to a new basex version would be:
  - $ brew upgrade basex

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Ben,

If you already use BaseX on a Linux machine, you already know how to use it on 
a Mac :) Simply download and unzip the file

http://files.basex.org/releases/9.0.1/BaseX901.zip

and then click on BaseX.jar if you want to access the GUI quickly, or type one 
of the commands in the bin folder for more access options. More information 
here:

http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Startup

Have fun.

Best,
Giuseppe 

PS: One of the advantages of using Basex is its amazing simplicity of use and 
installation across different operating systems!

I know how to install BaseX on linux but I have no experience with
Apple. My fellow-students know how to use applications but don't know
how to deal with java-applications.

My question is if BaseX can be used on a MacBook. If so, where can I
find instructions?

Cheers,

[basex-talk] How to use BaseX on MacBook? (Urgent!)

[Ben Engbers]

Hi,

If we manage to install BaseX on a MacBook, chances are great that we
will use BaseX dor our final project.

I know how to install BaseX on linux but I have no experience with
Apple. My fellow-students know how to use applications but don't know
how to deal with java-applications.

My question is if BaseX can be used on a MacBook. If so, where can I
find instructions?

Cheers,
Ben Engbers
