This document describes how to apply a COMSOL 4.4 compatibility update for Mac OS X® 10.10. If you already have installed COMSOL 4.4 Update 2 on Mac OS X® 10.10, you can proceed to the Updating COMSOL 4.4 Update 2 section.
Installing COMSOL 4.4 Update 2
Before installing COMSOL 4.4 Update 2, make sure that the Java® 1.6 JRE or later is installed on the system. Java can be downloaded from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
If for some reason the Java installer fails, you can install Java manually by following the instructions:
- Navigate to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and click on the JRE download link (both Java® 7 and 8 should work).
- Accept the license agreement.
- Download the version for Macintosh in .tar.gz format.
- Start a terminal and navigate to the directory which contains the downloaded file.
- Unpack the file by running
tar xvzf <file name>.tar.gz.
- A directory should appear containing the JRE.
- Put the JRE home directory first in the PATH variable by running
export PATH=<full path to the containing directory>/<java directory>/Contents/Home:$PATH
(for exampleexport PATH=/Users/username/Downloads/jre1.7.0_67.jre/Contents/Home:$PATH
). - Set the JAVA_HOME variable to point to the JRE home directory by running
export JAVA_HOME=<full path to the containing directory>/<java directory>/Contents/Home
(for exampleexport JAVA_HOME=/Users/username/Downloads/jre1.7.0_67.jre/Contents/Home
). - From the same terminal run the
setup
script in the COMSOL 4.4 Update 2 installation root directory and proceed with the installation. - Once the installation is complete, you can remove Java since it won’t be needed anymore.
