BEAST 2.6.2 doesn't initialise in MacOS Catalina 10.15.3 - help?

[Christiana Scheib]

Hi,

I have downloaded the latest version of BEAST for Mac (tried both the without Java and with versions). I have installed JDK8 (see below). I have clicked through the "open anyway" problem of BEAST not having the credentials or whatever Catalina wants to check for malicious software. When I go to launch BEAUti or any other app, it bounces and goes to the dock, but then doesn't initialise. Any help in getting this started is appreciated! Thanks!

java -version

openjdk version "1.8.0_242"

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 1.8.0_242-b08)

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (AdoptOpenJDK)(build 25.242-b08, mixed mode)

Hi Christiana,

Would you mind trying the following: open a terminal, and start BEAUti using

/Applications/BEAST\ 2.6.2/bin/beauti 

assuming you installed BEAST in the /Applications folder. Does BEAUti start? If not, can you post what is printed in the terminal?

Cheers,

Remco

Hi both,

I had the same problem, followed the guidance (thank you!) and I am now able to execute the unix executables for beauti, beast, etc. However the BEAST Gui never works (it just goes to the dock and doesn't open). Do you have any ideas?

Thanks
