<p>Hello Mac users,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As Scilab 5.5.2 requires a Java 1.5 install, we need to make it think it has one.<br>
</p>
<p>Here are steps to run Scilab 5.5.2 on High Sierra:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>open a <b>terminal</b> (found in Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal)</li></ul>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>note the <b>path</b> returned by:</li></ul>
<blockquote>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>/usr/libexec/java_home<br>
</li></ul>
</blockquote>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>in my case it returns <span><i>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_102.jdk/Contents/Home</i></span> so in the following commands, replace it with your path. Run the following
<b>commands </b>(you'll need sudo rights):</li></ul>
<p></p>
<blockquote>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_102.jdk/ /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5 # Make Java 1.5 point to our install</li></ul>
</blockquote>
<div>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>sudo mkdir -p /bundle/Libraries</li></ul>
<ul>
<li>sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_102.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib /bundle/Libraries/libserver.dylib # Make the requested libserver.dylib file point to our libjvm.dylib</li></ul>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>if you get 'Operation not permitted' errors then please consult <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/05/disable-rootless-system-integrity-protection-mac-os-x" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk410509" previewremoved="true">http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/05/disable-rootless-system-integrity-protection-mac-os-x</a>
to bypass macOS protections</li></ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>at Scilab startup, click on <b>Try Anyway</b> when asked about the macOS version</li></ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">
<li>if you're asked for <b>Java6</b>, follow the steps described at <a href="http://www.scilab.org/en/download/latest" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk404901" previewremoved="true">

<div>Regarding Scilab 6, it is recommended to wait for the next Scilab release which simplifies the launch on High Sierra. Otherwise you may refer to
