Installing Fraclac on a Mac

[Jay Friedenberg]

Hi everyone,

I’m running Mac OS Catalina 10.15.3. Have successfully installed ImageJ, but cannot install the FracLac plugin. When I go to do the install I get the following error message included in this screenshot below. I quit ImageJ, restart it, go to Plugins, then Install. From there I select the .jar file. Am i installing this to the correct directory? It says it is the Plugin folder. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks!

Jay

You have run into the dreaded Mac OS Path Randomization “feature”, described in the third paragraph of the installation notes at https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/docs/install/osx.html.

MacOS 10.12 (Sierra) and later have a security feature called Path Randomization that can cause ImageJ to not work as expected. Path randomization is in effect if the "ImageJ home" path shown in the Image>Show Info window starts with "/private" and plugins are not installed in the Plugins menu. You can disable path randomization by dragging ImageJ.app to another folder and then (optionally) dragging it back.

Thanks for your quick response. Dreaded is the right word. Can’t locate the proper folders. Will try on Windows instead.

Instead of "installing" ImageJ, can you download it to a folder instead?


This is how I work with ImageJ and Fiji on computers maintained by IT dept so that I can put in root drive C: or in my documents folder to avoid IT issues.
