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".

change to the dir where nix.runNis.sh and nix.runNcc.sh are.

The network seems to be down at the moment so your client won't be able to connect right now.

How do I change the dir where nix.runNis.sh and nix.runNcc.sh are? what should I click on or type?
