Hi,

The problem is in the path of your User directory (Spaces and parentheses). The download script is unfortunately broken by this. It can be circumvented by the following :

1-dowload the 30/08/2021 macOS version
2-manually download and install the Jvm from :

https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk8-binaries/releases/download/jdk8u275-b01/OpenJDK8U-jre_x64_mac_hotspot_8u275b01.pkg

I cannot ensure that you will have no other problems with your particular User directory path, so please report any further problem.

Hi Stéphane,

Many thanks for your answer!

I upgraded from MacOS Catalina to MacOS Big Sur, and Scilab did not work any longer.

Then I downloaded and installed the most recent version:
scilab-6.1.1-x86.64.dmg (Build date 16.07.2021).
Running Scilab suggests installing Java 8.
Letting Scilab to install the right Java leads to a failure (I am attaching a screenshot).

In fact, after that I did several tries myself (installed two different variants of Java 8 and Java 11) but Scilab never worked. Funnily, Javas were stored in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ only (I did not see any trace of Javas in /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/).
In the end, I removed all folders in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/.

Thanks in advance if you see a solution.

Best regards,
Mikhail

    Hi,

    Please precise the version of MacOS you are using. The easiest way
    to fix problems is to uninstall all existing Java Virtual machines
    and let Scilab install  the right one at first startup. Please
    remove any folder in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ and
    /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/ and restart
    Scilab.

    I have the same problem.
    Posted it yesterday with a thorough explanation and screenshots.
    But it does not seem even to be posted (200 kbytes due to
    screenshots).
    I am wondering if we can get any help?
    Kind regards,

        I have been running Scilab for 10 or 15 years on generations
        of Apple platforms, encountering difficulties with Java at
        every stage.  I can’t get Version 6.1.1 to run on mac mini,
        and the user lists are down. Is any help extant or pending?
