SAPCAR 7.21 for OS X 11

[manish_umarwadia2]

Hello,

Hello, I am trying to follow Denys' blog, however with Big Sur (OS X 11.1), you do not get the option of even running an exe file from an unidentified developer. I am stuck at not getting "allow anyway" ./SAPCAR_1324-70002712.EXE [img id="

https://blogs.sap.com/2020/03/18/sap-hana-sapcar-and-macos/I was wondering if anyone has managed to install SAPCAR with Big Sur (OS X 11.0),

Hi Manish,

You only need to remove the “Windows” extension and make the file executable.

mv SAPCAR_1324-70002712.EXE sapcar 
chmod u+x sapcar  
./sapcar   

# to put the utility in the path use copy or move (cp / mv)
cp sapcar /usr/local/bin/

Make sure to download the version for macOS 64-bit.

Hello Denys,

Thanks for your reply. However I am still stuck at the same point. When I issue the ./sapcar command below, all it does it give the usage of sapcar and it's patch information etc. I still went ahead and issued the other commands after === below and it still does not recognize SAPCAR command.I did download the Mac osx 64-bit. As I said I am on OS X 11.1 beta.

regards,

Manish

hana % mv SAPCAR.EXE sapcar

hana % chmod u+x sapcar

hana % ./sapcar

usage:

===

sudo mv sapcar /usr/local/SAPCAR

hana % sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/SAPCAR

sudo chgrp admin /usr/local/SAPCAR

sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/SAPCAR

xattr: /usr/local/SAPCAR: No such xattr: com.apple.quarantine

zsh: command not found: SAPCAR

>> this indicates that the command is not in the PATH.

sudo mv sapcar /usr/local/SAPCAR

/usr/local is not a default path, so you either have to add this directory to the path (not recommended) or otherwise run the command with full path.

/usr/local/SAPCAR

Alternatively, why not copy the executable to a location that is in the default path?

sudo mv sapcar /usr/local/bin/SAPCAR

Hello Denys,

Thanks again for the detailed answer. Also sorry about basic questions bu there is no /usr/local/bin on my Mac, only a /usr/local or /usr/bin.

No problem. With command

echo $PATH

you can see what's in the path. Any directory will do but /usr/bin sounds like a good candidate (or you can create /usr/local/bin and add it to the PATH but this requires a bit more work)

For some backgrounds about the file system (macOS Darwin = UNIX), see

Hi Denys,

Was able to run the command with the full path. I will look at your links also for my education.

Best Regards,

Manish
