On my brand-new iMac Retina 5K 27' 2017 running macOS Sierra 10.12.6, I am not able to run Base. I have downloaded and installed the latest JDK for macOS (jdk-9_osx-x64_bin.dmg) from Oracle's Java website. After doing so, I did not find a 'jre' subfolder in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home/. In LibreOffice > Preferences > Advanced, I checked 'Use a Java runtime environment', but no JRE was listed below under 'Vendor/Version/Features.'

Java Runtime Environment for Mac 2020 full offline installer setup for Mac Java Runtime Environment for Mac (JRE for Mac) allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D, just to name a few. 1 Mac OS X x64 Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 update 131 Installation Steps as of July 13, 2017.

I then downloaded the latest JRE for macOS (jre-9_osx-x64_bin.dmg) from Oracle's website and ran that installer. Still no 'jre' subfolder in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home/, where it should be, and still no JRE listed in LO > Preferences > Advanced. Apparently, Oracle's installer installs the JRE to support Java applets in web browsers, but not to support applications.

Next, I downloaded jre-9_osx-x64_bin.tar.gz and uncompressed it. This yielded a folder named 'jre-9.jre'. I copied this folder to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home/ and renamed it 'jre'. In LO > Preferences > Advanced, I clicked 'Add', navigated to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/, and clicked OK. LibreOffice displayed this message:

The Java runtime environment you selected is not the required version.Please select a different folder.

Would someone who knows how to install and configure Java on macOS Sierra please provide instructions on how to do this successfully?

Thanks,BillLibre

I have the same problem but with macOS 10.13.3 on 15inch MacBook Pro

I have just the same problem with OsX 10.13.4 (High Sierra). Were you able to find a solution?

The following are the system requirements for installing the JDK and the JRE on macOS:

Jdk 13 Interim Update Patch_osx X64_bin Dmg 1

• Any Intel-based computer running macOS.

• Administrator privileges.

  You cannot install Java for a single user. Installing the JDK and JRE on macOS is performed on a systemwide basis for all users. Administrator privileges are required to install the JDK and JRE on macOS.

• When you install the JDK, it also installs the JRE. However, the system will not replace the current JRE with a lower version.

  To determine the current JRE version installed on your system, see Determining the JRE Version Installed on macOS. To install an earlier version of the JRE, you must first uninstall the current version. See Uninstalling the JRE on macOS.

• When you install the JRE, you can install only one JRE on your system at a time. The system will not install a JRE that has an earlier version than the current version.

  To determine the current JRE version installed on your system, see Determining the JRE Version Installed on macOS. To install an earlier version of the JRE, you must first uninstall the current version. See Uninstalling the JRE on macOS.

  You cannot extract encrypted files. How to run a dmg file from terminal 2.

  Note:

  Installing a JRE from Oracle will not update java -version symlinks or add java to your path. To do this, you must install the JDK.
