    Hi,

    do you have write access permissions for your user home  "/Users/stud" folder?

    Regards,

    I am not able to do anything in my /Users/stud

    I tried to create a .RapidMiner5 directory in /Users/stud but permission denied ???

    Hi,

    you really should be allowed to write into your own user home folder. RapidMiner needs to setup the .RapidMiner5 folder to store various things. You can have a look at this thread where someone with a Mac has a similiar problem.

    Regards,
    Marco

    Hi,

    well that's a Mac problem then, not a RapidMiner problem ;)
    You need to be able to write into your own user home folder, then you can launch RapidMiner.

    Hi studhadoop,

    you don't really need to "install" rapidminer on you Mac, I'd suggest you try the following:

    1) Download the version for "other systems" from here: http://rapid-i.com/content/view/169/82/
    2) Unzip and put the folder "rapidminer" in a folder where you do have write access, probably your desktop should be a good place to start with.
    3) go to the subfolder "lib", then double click on "rapidminer.jar"

    Rapidminer should now open. You may also want to create a shortcut to rapidminer.jar, and put it directly onto your desktop.

    I hope that helps.

    hi MacPhotoBiker
                              Actually i am trying in my desktop folder.

    At first i tried with lib->rapidminer.jar but it hangs out in"Loading GUI"
    it doesnt worked then i tried  java -jar lib/rapidminer.jar That also didn't worked fine
    then i did  scripts/rapidminer this actually worked then i tried to start GUI using scripts/RapidMinerGUI. It results in error saying /User/stud/.RapidMiner5 is not created.
    so i tried to create a folder in  /Users/stud
    mkdir: /Users/stud/.RapidMiner5: Operation not permitted
    ??? :(

    Sorry to hear about your problems. It's not that I'm that much of a "pro", but I got it running on both a Mac and a Linux machine,  and since so far you didn't get any better advice, I'd like to try to help you and share my experiences with you.

    "Operation not permitted" sounds very much like improper read/write access.

    In Finder, right click on the rapidminer folder, and choose "Get info". Then a new window opens, at the very bottom it shows "Sharing & Permissions". In column "Name" your username should appear, and your privilege should be "Read & Write".

    On my end, I did not need to create any folders manually. I can open the entire application just by double clicking /lib/rapidminer.jar  I'm pointing this out because I believe that the error message "folder not created" won't be solved by just creating the folders manually, they rather indicate that "something else" goes wrong.

    Please let me know your read/write access on the rapidminer folder. Good luck!

    On more thing: Besides the read/ write access you also may need to set the proper ownership of the rapidminer folder. Try this:

    In a Terminal window, go to the directory that contains the rapidminer folder, i. e when you type ls, you should see the rapidminer folder (among other folders and files).

    To modify ownership:  chown -R YourUserName:YourUserName rapidminer
    To set write access"      chmod -R 755 rapidminer

    Let us know if this works. Also, you should verify that java is properly installed.

    Good luck.
