Installation of Galago fails: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly

Question

I am trying to install Galago via the binary file(galago-3.12-bin) on unix. When i run the file I get the following error:

SEF-IS-017660:galago-3.12-bin anton$ bin/galago Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly. We cannot execute /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home/bin/java

When I check my java home directory I get:

SEF-IS-017660:galago-3.12-bin anton$ echo $(/usr/libexec/java_home) /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home

How can I correct the problem? The install is expecting a certain home directory but mine is different?

Answer 1

I could use the same answer as that provided in this entry

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

Fixed the problem
