That will create folder like `jdk-11.0.19+7-jre`.
This is the Java VM that IJP ImageJ Launcher will use to start Fiji.
**6. Download the IJP ImageJ Launcher to the Fiji.app directory**
**6. Download the IJP ImageJ Launcher and uncompress**
Go to [Releases], download "IJP-ImageJ-Launcher-0.1.0-macosx-arm64"
and "IJP-ImageJ-Launcher-0.1.0-macosx-arm64.command", save them to the `Fiji.app` folder.
Go to [Releases], download "IJP-ImageJ-Launcher-0.2.0-macosx-arm64.zip"
The "*.command" file is a helper that can be used to launch Fiji without using command prompt.
Future versions of the IJP Launcher, after v.0.1.0, may eliminate the need for using this file.
Uncompress "IJP-ImageJ-Launcher-0.2.0-macosx-arm64.zip".
Inside you will get `ImageJ-macosx`.
**7. Set Executable Permissions**
**7. Add to Fiji.app**
When you download launcher files they may be saved without executable permissions.
Inside `Fiji.app` locate folder `Contents/MacOS`.
* Open terminal
* Navigate to the Fiji.app folder, for instance, `cd ~/Download/Fiji.app`
* Add executable permission to the launcher and the "*.command" file using
Copy `ImageJ-macosx` to the `Contents/MacOS` folder, replacing `ImageJ-macosx` that was there.
```shell
chmod +x IJP-ImageJ-Launcher-0.1.0-macosx-arm64
chmod +x IJP-ImageJ-Launcher-0.1.0-macosx-arm64.command
```
**8. Move Fiji.app to the Application folder**
**8. Start ImageJ**
You can start `IJP-ImageL-Launcher-0.1.0-macosx-arm64` from command line or in the `Fiji.app` folder double-click on `IJP-ImageL-Launcher-0.1.0-macosx-arm64.command` file (note the extension "*
.command")
That should start Fiji.
You may need to open Settings and allow the IJP ImageJ Launcher to run.
You can also create an alis on the Desktop to avoid navigating to the `Fiji.app` folder each time.
Using Finder, press `Option`+`Command` and drag the *.command file to the Desktop.
The original *.command file will stay were it is and a new icon/alias (wth a little arrow at the bottom) will be created
on the Desktop.
Now you can double-click on the new alias on the Desktop to start Fiji.
You can rename the Desktop alias to whatever you like, for instance, `Fiji`, but do not change names of the downloaded
files, otherwise the alias (and *.command) may no longer work, and you will need to use terminal to start the launcher.
At this point you can move the `Fiji.app` folder to the Applications folder and use is as a regular msOS application.
