#acl All:read = Installing Cytoscape 3.2 on Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.8) = Cytoscape 3.2 requires Java 7 to run. Unfortunately Java 7 is not officially available for Snow Leopard (10.6.8). We found a version of Java 7 (Update 25) that works with Mac OS X 10.6.8. Note, later versions of Java 7 do not work on OS X 10.6.8 even if you manage to install them. == Install Java 7 == * Download the modified Java 7 (Update 25) package from here - this version will allow you install Java 7 even though it is technically not supported. * Install Java 7. * Set your Java Home as described here : [[http://www.cytoscape.org/release_notes_3_1_1.html|Set JAVA_HOME]] * verify that you are now using Java 7.
