Setting up on new Mac mini m4

Don’t forget to tell us about your stack!

OS: Sequoia 15.2
Java Version: ???
Tomcat Version: ???
Lucee Version: Express 6

Have been using Lucee successfully on older Macbook pro but time to update.
Installed Java and downloaded Lucee Express 6 and…

I would be most grateful if someone could explain what I need to do to fix this?

It’s much easier to use Commandbox to start Lucee, see: Installation | CommandBox : CLI, Package Manager, REPL & More

I would recommend the homebrew installation on mac

The new m4 chip is not the same as the x64 builds that the rest of the base is on.

go install homebrew
Homebrew Formulae

Then install java, tomcat 9 and then run lucee as a WAR
