I don't have a Mac, but, IIRC, you'll need to install the Java jdk dmg.

Does it need javac to actually compile java code? If not, it sounds like a missing PATH issue.

I don't think so. (The command line is: "java -jar epubcheck.jar test.epub"

Please provide the OP with further instructions about checking and updating the path. If it doesn't work, s/he could still install the jdk image.

(When I tested the plugin on a friend's Mac last year, it wouldn't work until after the installation of the jdk img file. Maybe the jre installer doesn't set up the proper paths?)

That is what I think.

Hi Maui,

1. First trying restarting you Mac to force any PATH changes to be used

2. In Terminal.app please run the following commands:

echo ${PATH}

(I tried the above on my machine and it shows /usr/bin as being in my PATH)

whereis java

(on my Mac this returns /usr/bin/java)

which java

(on my Mac this returns /usr/bin/java)


env

(on my Mac there is no JAVA_HOME or any java related environment variables set)


java -version

(on my Mac this returns:

KevinsiMac:~ kbhend$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_73"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_73-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.73-b02, mixed mode)

)

3. Once we know where the jre binary in installed we can see if the issue is a missing path or a mssing environment variable.

I just bought a new mac book and was able to install sigil without any problems. i copied the sigil.ini, sigil clips und saver searches succesfully to the mac.

Right now i'm trying to get epubcheck running, so i installed the jre-8u151-macosx-x64.dmg. The installation went through without any error (succes message after installation), but the plugin is failing. The reason is clear: in the terminal a java -version command said no java installed and a popup is asking if i want to install java. Reinstalling does not change anything.

I know this is not really related to a sigil problem but currently io'm a little bit lost to find out where the problem is. Any help is appreciated.

BTW: On My Mac if I do an ls -l inside /usr/bin you will see that java is a symlink:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 74 6 Jan 2017 java -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java

So looking in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/

might be a good idea as well.

This is with Sierra, not High Sierra which I am staying away from until it is more stable.

Hi,

thank you very much for the quick help so far.

The root cause was not having my brain mounted

Reading the error message more carefully "jdk neccessary to be installed to execute command line" is exactly what doitso assuned: jre is not enough.

The only excuse i have is that jre was sufficient under windows.

Then the jre package on Mac OSX must not install in the right place or not set the proper PATH.

Glad you got it working.

Hello,
I have a small problem with epubcheck on an Asus (W10). Installed and reinstalled (just now) Sigil (last version) and the plugin, It pass testplugin but I get the message :

Thanks for your ideas

java jdk not instalkled

[Julie34]

installed Java jdk and it works. Thanks a lot.
But it is the first time I had to do that on a computer after installing Sigil (and I do Java update).

[KevinH]

FWIW, on a Mac every time you upgrade the major OS X version, the updater removes java, and I have to go and get it again and reinstall it.

Does anyone know if this plugin or epubcheck in general will run with Java 10? Thank you.

(I have it running nicely with Java 8, just wondering if I need to avoid upgrading to 10)

epubcheck works fine with Java 10. (The plugin doesn't care about the Java version.)

Excellent.
