Arpad It seems that the documentation around JAva is the main problem. At https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#how-to-install-and-start-nifi <https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#how-to-install-and-start-nifi> it mentions a Java dependency of ‘Java 8 and above’
When I run the Brew install, it notices I havent got an appropriate JDK available and suggests I install adoptopenjdk using Brew. But that installs a Java 12 version and this is, as I understand now, not suitable for nifi, which REQUIRES Java 8. So there needs to be some work tying up those 2 Feargal > On 25 Jul 2019, at 12:27, Arpad Boda <[email protected]> wrote: > > Could you be a bit more specific on "not very clear"? > Your feedback on documentation is appreciated. > > > On Thu, Jul 25, 2019 at 1:08 PM Feargal Hogan <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > Aldrin > > Thanks > > https://nifi.apache.org/docs.html <https://nifi.apache.org/docs.html> > > "Downloading and Installing NiFi” and subsequent sections > > BTW, IMHO the non-brew install instructions for Mac/Linux are also not very > clear > > Feargal > > > >> On 25 Jul 2019, at 12:04, Aldrin Piri <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Hi Feargal, >> >> The brew installation process doesn’t need any direct interactions with the >> installation.
