Which installer did you use?

3

Do you have Java 9 by any chance? (java -version)
If it is could you switch to Java 8?

hi kelly, im using the DMG. I was able to run the Dremio but not thru the app I had to go the contents then MacOS then by double clicking on the Dremio inside it will open my terminal showing:
Port 9047 is not blocked
Port 2181 is not blocked.

then Dremio application will show then when I click on start its now starting.
Is there a way for me to run dremio without going thru the contents and all.

Thanks!

Like @yufeldman said, you installed Java9 on your computer, a version currently not supported by Dremio.

You can confirm this by opening a terminal, and running the following command:
/usr/libexec/java_home -verbose

The output should looks similar to this:

$ /usr/libexec/java_home -verbose
Matching Java Virtual Machines (8):
    9, x86_64:	"Java SE 9"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_144, x86_64:	"Java SE 8"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_144.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_121, x86_64:	"Java SE 8"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_121.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_102, x86_64:	"Java SE 8"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_102.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_92, x86_64:	"Java SE 8"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_92.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_72, x86_64:	"Java SE 8"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_72.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.8.0_66, x86_64:	"Java SE 8"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_66.jdk/Contents/Home
    1.7.0_80, x86_64:	"Java SE 7"	/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_80.jdk/Contents/Home

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/Contents/Home

The last line represents the default JDK.

You can workaround this by hinting the Dremio app to use JDK version 8 (assuming it is present on your system) by making sure the Dremio application is closed, and then running the following command from a terminal:
JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8) open /Applications/Dremio.app

Meanwhile we are working on bringing Java9 compatibility to Dremio
