Installing Jenkins on MAC OS X El Capitan - macos

This is probably a stupid question but I can't get Jenkins installed on my MAC. I've searched the web and tried various different tutorials but it does not seem to work for me. Moreover it seems that nobody experiences the same problem. I've downloaded the Jenkins Installer from here. After running the installation process, the script tries to connect to http://localhost:8080 but I get the error message that the browser cannot connect to the server. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!

And again the solution was quite simple. The connection problem arises when you either don't or you have Java < 1.7 installed. What I did:
deleted my previous Jenkins installation by running /Library/Application\ Support/Jenkins/Uninstall.command
installed JDK 8 (OS X 64bit) from here
reinstalled MAC Jenkins from here
Works fine!

Error DBI1189E installing DB2 on Mac Os X El Capitan

I have followed the instructions to install DB2 Express-C found here (which is the official guide on the IBM community forum). Everything worked quite fine until I had to run the db2_install.
When I execute it, it gives me the DBI1189E error:
"DBI1189E There has been an attempt to use db2_install
on an image for a platform that does not match the current platform
'MacOS' on which it is being run.
Explanation:
Possible causes include:
This DB2 install image is not valid for the current
platform.
The current platform is not supported by DB2.
User Response:
Install DB2 using the DB2 install image that corresponds
with the current platform 'MacOS'. "
Anyone knows what went wrong?
The last 2 days I also struggled with installing db2 on My Os X with the El Capitan.
First of all, important to know is that only version 10.1 is supported for mac, while for windows/linux, version 10.5 is supported.
This can cause troubles when migrating an existing database in 10.5 to your mac database in version 10.1. It is off course important to have the right distribution for mac os x.
I also tried the official guide on the IBM community forum, but it didn't work out for me too...
What I did was follow these instructions.
With these instructions, the installation went find, but I encountered some issues with the line:
Initialize the sample database using this command:
db2sampl
Make sure you issue the db2start command using the db2inst1 user.
After my db was started I had some issues with locked files.
I could solve them by issuing the command:
sudo chown db2inst1 /Users/db2inst1/sqllib/adm/*
And then everything worked fine.
Good luck!
I am finding references to seemingly the same problem for example here and here. All I am doing is googling for "DBI1189E mac os". Good luck and let me know if this has worked. Thanks!

Oracle SQL Developer (4.1.1) Mac OSX install issues (El Capitan)

I am attempting to install Oracle SQL Developer Version 4.1.1. onto my MacBook Pro after installing OS X El Capitan. After I download the application and attempt to click on the icon to install it, the application's loading prompt appears and the "loading" bar moves about 5% to the part where it says "registering extensions" right above the loading bar. The application then crashes (no crash report, or anything appears afterwards).
After searching online I cannot find anyone else having this issue.
On a possibly related note - I attempted to install Oracle SQL Developer 4.1.1 on my Parallels Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine and had the same issue. Not sure if this stems from the same reason that my OS X install fails.
Help? suggestions? Im running out of ideas.
Run in terminal:
/Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh
to view errors.
My error was
mkdir: /Users/gs/.sqldeveloper/4.1.0: Permission denied"
Solution:
sudo mv ~/.sqldeveloper ~/sqldeveloper.old
Open the contents of your /Applications/SQLDeveloper.app
Edit /Contents/MacOS/sqldeveloper.sh
Add export JAVA_HOME pointing to your latest Java 1.8 version.
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home
This helped me.
Full sqldeveloper.sh file for SQL Developer 4.1.1.
#!/bin/bash
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home
here="${0%/*}"
cd "${here}"
cd ../Resources/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin
bash ./sqldeveloper >>/dev/null
I had a similar problem, I had to download the JDK for the install to work. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
In my case it was an issue related to attached external monitor. I had moved my primary display to an external monitor and then disconnecting external displays allows me to start the app. Plugging the external display in and the application moves to the primary external monitor.
Got info after googling and read that posts from oracle community

Getting Google App to work

I've followed all the steps here https://console.developers.google.com/start/appengine?_ga=1.82598931.449716086.1415074596 successfully up to step 5.3. When I try to start the server:
dev_appserver.py appengine-try-python-flask
I get the following output:
-bash: dev_appserver.py: command not found
I'm on a Mac running OS X 10.10. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I'm running Python 2.7.6.
It seems like you didn't correctly add the dev_appserver (and other GAE tools) to the bash.
Did you restart your shell(s) to pick up the new environment changes?
If you did and the problem still persists, you can try downloading manually the GAE SDK.
After that, open the GoogleAppEngineLauncher, and just click OK on 'Make command symlinks'. This will solve your issue.
It's all easily explained in the official documentation:
Download and Install the Google App Engine SDK

Trying to Run middleman on mac

Answering my own question for anyone else having this issue. (using the search terms i thought of because they didn't bring up the answers for me).
Trying to install and run middleman following the getting started guide on their website with Mac OS X 10.9.2. When trying to run bundle install getting errors about openSSL and event machine.
Gist of Errors.
Refrence to an answer that someone on IRC helped me find.
Aparently this is caused by a mismatch in expected versions with something called Clang which is part of the Xcode tools for mac. The update to Xcode tools causes this to fail. Using the command:
ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future bundle install
seems to work to resolve this issue.

Where is the download for mac osx on couchdb.org?

I upgraded my OSX to Lion. As I went to install couchdb locally I found that the installer link for mac on http://couchdb.apache.org was gone and replaced with "Mac OS X binaries coming soon". I haven't used couchdb before but I know it was there at one point.
A friend sent me a copy zipped up which he installed on his Snow Leopard OSX. This installed and I could access the Admin Console, but I was unable to access futon.
Is there a reason the button is missing, or is there another way to install it?
My guess is that the site is detecting my operating system and they just aren't ready for 10.7.5 yet. But How do I go about installing a local version?
To install I followed the steps in this post Couch DB installation not working on Mac OSx Lion.
It worked like a charm step by step.
The new version 1.2.1 has recently been released and packed for Mac OSX. You can download it from http://couchdb.apache.org/#download or from http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/couchdb/packages/mac/1.2.1/Apache-CouchDB-1.2.1.zip
