Hello. I am trying to help a coworker download Spark for work. We both have MAC OS. I have had spark for several years and have version 2.9.4. We are not able to get it downloaded to her computer. The newest version will not download. I have tried changing security settings on our computers and clicking “download anyway”. However it only gives me the message, “JRE directory not writable. Could not unpack JAR files. Please move the installation to a writeable directory.” We have no idea what this means. I still have the older version on my computer that works fine. But new employees with MAC OS are not able to download Spark. Please help.
I’m not sure if spark has been tested on apple silicon. you can try installing a JRE for arm to see if that resolves your issue. Spark doesn’t get a lot development anymore. You may also want to consider an different xmpp client. maybe beagle might be a good option.
