Special note for usersbrugere ofaf MacOS Big Sur

There are additional steps for MacOS Bug Sur users, in case Ancestris does not start after the installation above:

  • It might be necessary to store Gedcom files in another folder than the 'Documents', 'Desktop' and 'Downloads' folders. For instance, you can use the "Public" folder.
    • Indeed, for security reasons, MacOS might prevent access to these folders by non-signed applications.
    • It can also happen that an error message "Wrong line n° null" is displayed when opening a Gedcom file that is placed under one of these folders.

 

  • It might be also necessary to specify the path to the java version in the ancestris configuration file. This is explained below.

Please follow these additional steps to specify the path to the java version in the ancestris configuration file:

Basic principles:
  • The configuration file is here : ${HOME}/Library/Application Support/ancestris/trunk/etc/ancestris.conf
  • Java's location is given by the following line command : /usr/libexec/java_home -V

These are the steps.

1. Open a terminal, and check and copy the location of the installed java version
  • Type /usr/libexec/java_home -V on ther command line and press Enter
  • You shoud see the path of the installed java version.
  • Select the line indicating the path, and click on the mouse to copy it in the clipboard. This line could be different in your case.
    • Here it is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-15.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home

en-force-java-path-01.png

2. Open the editor on the Ancestris configuration file
  • Type the following command:  nano ${HOME}/Library/'Application Support'/ancestris/trunk/etc/ancestris.conf

en-force-java-path-02.png

3. The nano editor opens and shows the content of the Ancestris configuration file

en-force-java-path-03.png

4. Add - or modify - the line that says jdkhome="" and paste the java path between the double quotes
  • Add the line if it does not exist
  • Or update it otherwise. Make sure in this case that there is no pond sign "#" at the beggining of the line, your change would not be taken into account.

en-force-java-path-04.png

5. Exit and save your change

en-force-java-path-05.png

6. Check that the Ancestris configuration file has your change, and start Ancestris.
  • Type the command starting with "cat ${home}/..." below.
  • The terminal displays the configuration file with the added line.

en-force-java-path-06.png

The configuration file is updated. You can start Ancestris and Ancestris should find java.
