NEM Alpha on Mac OS X / Linux

Install Java 8. Check java -version via Terminal, it should return 1.8. If it doesn't you need to set a symlink to your new version.

=> Symlink on Mac OS X:

Code:

sudo ln -fs "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java" /usr/bin/java

Confirm by typing java -version again, should return 1.8.

1. Download latest release from http://bob.nem.ninja
2. unpack and cd to package; set permissions:

Code:

chmod +x nix.runNis.sh && chmod +x nix.runNcc.sh

3. first launch Nis

Code:

./nix.runNis.sh

4. open new terminal window, cd to package dir and launch Ncc

Code:

./nix.runNcc.sh

5. head over to http://localhost:8989/ncc/web/index.html
6. click on the arrow next to your username (top right corner), boot local node

Enjoy Alpha

I am trying and trying to install NEM on my mac. I have installed Java 8 and downloaded the file and unzipped, but I am stuck no step 2. "What is unpack to cd to package"? and How do I "set permissions"?

I copy and pasted the line "chmod +x nix.runNis.sh && chmod +x nix.runNcc.sh" in to terminal but it tells me "no such file or directory exists".
