Downloading and Installing Anypoint Studio (OS X)

Prerequisites

Extract the Anypoint Studio package and move it to your /Applications directory.
Open the extracted Anypoint Studio.
Click OK to accept the default workspace.
- You must Use an absolute path when defining your workspace because Anypoint Studio does not expand the ~ tilde used in Unix and Linux systems.

To run Studio 6 on macOS 11.x (Big Sur):

Go to your /Applications folder, right-click the AnypointStudio package and select Show Package Contents.
Go to Contents and open the info.plist file.

Inside the <key>Eclipse</key> tag, modify the <array> tag to point to your VM path. For example:

<array>
...
  <string>-vm</string>
  <string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-1.8.0_271.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>
...
</array>

If Anypoint Studio fails to load with a An Error Has Occurred message, you must configure it to point to your JDK installation as the default VM:

Go to your /Applications folder, right-click the AnypointStudio package and select Show Package Contents.
Go to Contents > Eclipse, and open the AnypointStudio.ini file.
Add the -vm option to point to your specific JDK installation path.
```
-vm
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_191.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
```
- The -vm option and the installation path must be on separate lines.
- The value must be the full absolute or relative path to the Java executable, not just to the Java home directory.
- The -vm option must occur after the other Studio-specific options (such as -product, --launcher.*, etc), but before the -vmargs option.
