I’m running 64 bit OS X 10.9 (client, not server). I’m trying to sort out which version of Java I should install. I will not be doing any Java development on this computer. thanks – In the Wowza java installation instructions, I go to: [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) … click on **Server JRE** : [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/server-jre8-downloads-2133154.html](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/server-jre8-downloads-2133154.html) … but there are no OS X installers, just: Linux x64 55.56 MB server-jre-8u5-linux-x64.tar.gz Solaris SPARC 64-bit 66.13 MB server-jre-8u5-solaris-sparcv9.tar.gz Solaris x64 63.79 MB server-jre-8u5-solaris-x64.tar.gz Windows x64 52.28 MB server-jre-8u5-windows-x64.tar.gz Clicking **JRE** takes me to: [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html) **Java SE Runtime Environment 8 Downloads** **… and has:** **Mac OS X x64 56.61 MB jre-8u5-macosx-x64.dmg** **Clicking JDK takes me to:** **[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html)** **Java SE Development Kit 8 Downloads** **… and has:** **Mac OS X x64 207.79 MB jdk-8u5-macosx-x64.dmg** **—** **[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jdk.html#install](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jdk.html#install)** **JDK 7 Installation Instructions** **… but has no download link.** **—** **[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-install-faq.html](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-install-faq.html)** **Mac OS X Platform Install FAQs** **… has no install link, but has a link to:** **[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/index.html](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/index.html)** **JDK 7 and JRE 7 Installation Guide** **Mac** **The installation of JRE and JDK of 7u6 or later require Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) or later.** **JRE 7 Installation for Mac OS X (which goes to…)** **[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jre.html](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jre.html)** **(that page is previously described)** **JDK 7 Installation for Mac OS X** **Mac OS X Platform Install FAQ** **—** **[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html)** **Java SE Development Kit 8 Downloads** **Mac OS X x64 207.79 MB jdk-8u5-macosx-x64.dmg** ---

I just received direction, and will proceed: I would try this: > > Mac OS X x64 56.61 MB jre-8u5-macosx-x64.dmg This is a 64-bit Mac OS X package, which suggests appropriate compatibility. > > Mac OS X x64 207.79 MB jdk-8u5-macosx-x64.dmg This looks like the jre, but includes development tool. Will likely serve the same function as the jre. ---

I installed jre-8u11-macosx-x64, and rebooted, but without success. I have a ticket on this, but thought I’d post here to in case anyone has run into this: I did not do this: “To start Wowza Streaming Engine as a Mac OS X launchd service” I am using the start and stop standalone mode apps for now. When I ran the start standalone app, I got a dialog: “Click OK to start the standalone Wowza Streaming Engine. This will disable the services.” I clicked OK, and authenticated. Terminal output: cd /Library/WowzaStreamingEngine/manager/bin;./startmgr.sh;exit mele:~ admin$ cd /Library/WowzaStreamingEngine/manager/bin;./startmgr.sh;exit No Java runtime present, requesting install. logout [Process completed] Clicking “More Info…” took me to [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) . Rebooted again. A dialog: “Software Update” reads: “To open “java”, you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?” Reinstalled the (same) Java from Oracle. Tested on the Oracle web site; got: "Verified Java Version Completion checkmark Congratulations! You have the recommended Java installed (Version 8 Update 11)." Start Standalone Mode still does not work. I suppose I could get the Java that Apple swupdate is pointing me to… (separate from the oracle site I just referred to) Bob ---

**Up and running now.** In case anyone else runs into this: I let the Apple Software Update process get the Java it wanted me to have. I tested at [https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp](https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp) and got: Congratulations! _You have the recommended Java installed (Version 8 Update 11)._ Interestingly, that is the same version reported after I installed Java from the Oracle site.
