Hello all, has anyone successfully installed CubeMX 4.17.0 on Mac OSX Sierra (10.12.1)? Every time I doubleclick the install it just bounces and then nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Solution Found For Those With macOS High Sierra

First open this macro file inside the zipped package  `

en.stm32cubemx

`. `./

en.stm32cubemx/SetupSTM32CubeMX-4.25.0.app/Contents/MacOs/

SetupSTM32CubeMX-4_25_0_macos

`, this will open the installer.

It will by default try to install to `

/usr/share/applications.

`. This is incorrect. You need to find your application directory.

```

MacBook-Pro:en.stm32cubemx briankhuu$ cd ~/Applications/

MacBook-Pro:Applications briankhuu$ pwd

/Users/briankhuu/Applications

```

In my case it was `

/Users/briankhuu/Applications

`, you can then modify the application install directory during the install prompts.

This will then successfully install CUBEmx in macOS High Sierra.

Hope it helps

Hello,

Refer to the

http://www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/dm00104712.pdf

 user manual for STM32CubeMX and follow the steps/requirements for MacOS: Make sure you have administrators rights.

- Software requirements For MacOS, install Java Development Kit 1.7.0_45 or later.

Yes, you need to install Java. 

On Sierra it works great, less filling (actually just the same)

I have both Java Developer packages and admin rights on my machine but still no joy.  What did end up working for me though was to right-click on the .app installer and open up the package contents. Inside the MACOS folder there is a Setup...  binary file, double-clicked it and magically the terminal pops up with a install script and voila it installs, weird.  

Hope this helps someone else.

I also had this problem on Sierra. Installed JDK, restarted, and the installer would quit without opening the wizard.

Ferguson.Samuel

has the result that worked for me. The second time I opened the binary in the terminal, the wizard opened, and I was able to install.

I also saw that it worked only the 2nd time I launched it.

It did complain that it could not find /usr/share/applications.

Indeed that is a path which does not exist, and which the finder will not let me create.
