How to Download and Install Data Loader for Salesforce on Mac

Data Loader is a tool that allows you to insert, update, delete, and export Salesforce records. It is available for both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience, and it supports various data types and formats. In this article, we will show you how to download and install Data Loader for Salesforce on Mac.

Step 1: Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

Data Loader requires JRE version 11 or later to run on Mac. You can use any JRE that is compatible with your system, such as Zulu OpenJDK. To install Zulu OpenJDK, follow these steps:

Open this link and scroll down to "Download Azul Zulu Builds of OpenJDK".

For Java Version, select your java version of choice, or the latest version.

For Operating System, select macOS.

For Architecture, select your computer's architecture.

From Java Package, select JRE.

Scroll down to the top results, and download a file that corresponds to your computer's architecture.

Complete the installation. For installation help, click the How to install? link next to your download button.

Step 2: Download Data Loader for Salesforce

To download Data Loader for Salesforce, follow these steps:

Navigate to your orgâs Setup page.

Enter Data Loader in the Quick Find box, and select Data Loader.

Click Downloads. The Salesforce Data Loader page opens in your browser.

Select your operating system, and select a release to start downloading the installation .zip file.

After the download completes, right-click the .zip file and select Extract All.

Optionally, verify that the downloaded Data Loader zip file is signed by Salesforce by running the command jarsigner -verify dataloader_mac_.zip. Replace with the version string in the download's filename. For example, jarsigner -verify dataloader_mac_v56.0.2.zip

Step 3: Install Data Loader for Salesforce

To install Data Loader for Salesforce, follow these steps:

In the Data Loader folder, double-click the installer.command file.

If you canât open the file because of an unidentified developer message, press the Control key while clicking the installer.command file, and select open from the menu.

Specify where to install Data Loader.

Specify whether to add a Data Loader launch icon on your desktop or Applications folder.

Data Loader completes the installation.

Step 4: Run Data Loader for Salesforce

To run Data Loader for Salesforce, use one of these methods:

Use the Data Loader desktop icon.

Use the Applications folder.

Use the dataloader.command in your installation folder.

If Zulu OpenJDK isnât found, a message prompts you to download and install it.

To continue using your settings from an earlier Data Loader version in version 45 and later, migrate your config and log files after installation. Search for config.properties and log-config.xml, and copy or move the files to your current Data Loaderâs /config folder.

Congratulations! You have successfully downloaded and installed Data Loader for Salesforce on Mac. You can now use it to perform various data operations on your Salesforce records. For more information on how to use Data Loader, refer to the official documentation[^1^] [^2^] [^3^].
