Double-clicking the installer didn't work for me either.

Workaround: open a terminal, cd to the directory where the files have been unpacked and start the installer with the command:

java -jar SetupSTM32CubeMX-4.0.exe
�?

This worked for me.

Installing with sudo works:

sudo open 'path_to_/SetupSTM32CubeMX-4.21.0.app'

However, it screws automatic update

This was killing me too - silent failure. Eventually discovered I could cd to SetupSTM32CubeMX-4.22.0.app/Contents/MacOs and run the executable from the command line:

$ cd ~/Downloads/en/SetupSTM32CubeMX-4.22.0.app/Contents/MacOs

$ ./SetupSTM32CubeMX-4_22_0_macos

Please install Java JDK 1.7.0_45 or a more recent version

Hallelujah! Just needed to install the latest JDK (not the JRE as directed elsewhere!) and away we go.

Actually, the setup for Mac OS has been copied from a Linux installation and can only stall as the setup is trying to write into /usr/share/applications which does not exists on Mac OS but does not pop any error up...

LOL, seriously, guys, do you really have a Mac?

:)

 

I had to open the package and launch the setup in a terminal to discover this.

It has been a year this issue exists and still not fixed.

The biggest problem people have is they confuse the java runtime with JDK. You need to install the latest Java Development Kit. Then you can run the installer. Straight from the zip with a double-click. Really it works.

Consider yourself lucky! Double-click has never worked for me, even with the right JDK. Executing 

SetupSTM32CubeMX-4.22.0.app/Contents/MacOs

/SetupSTM32CubeMX-4_22_0_macos from the command line is what works for me.

use the java -jar command on the .exe since the mac installer is broken [no, they dont test anything.  if it builds without failing they release it regardless of how bad it is, and wont patch show stopper bugs. they just wait until the next release cycle and maybe your bug will be fixed.  dont count on it.]

don't use sudo because you don't want this stuff in your Applications folder anyway.  put it in Developer where your Xcode stuff is.
