Software Installation

1. You may need to install the Apple OSX developer tools.

2. GitHub for OSX

You can use GitHub Desktop or another Git client.

3. Java for OSX

Download the appropriate version and variant (x64 or aarch64 depending on your CPU type) of the recommended version of Java:

• Supported Technologies

• Install the latest supported version of the PostgreSQL database.
• Take note of the username/password you select during installation.
• Linux:
• Install PostgreSQL using your Linux machine's native tools or download a binary package. Follow the instructions in the downloaded package to install PostgreSQL.

• Add this location to your PATH: <LK_ENLISTMENT>/build/deploy/bin
• This directory won't exist yet, but add it to the PATH anyway. The Gradle build downloads binaries used by the server, such as graphvis, dot, and proteomics tools, to this directory.

To add the environment variables using ~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile (depending on your default shell), edit the file and add the lines, customizing for your own local paths to your enlistment and java:

export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11`
export LK_ENLISTMENT=/labkeydev/labkeyEnlistment
export PATH=$LK_ENLISTMENT/build/deploy/bin:$PATH

You may also want to set the variable GIT_ACCESS_TOKEN in order to be able to use commands like "gradlew gitCheckout".

IntelliJ IDEA

The setup for IntelliJ is described in the common documentation. There may be differences for OSX, and version differences, including but not limited to:

• The menu path for setting path variables is IntelliJ IDEA > Preferences > Appearance & Behavior > Path Variables.
