Protege 5 Installation instructions for MacOSX
Contents
Go to the main Protege 5 installation page
Protege Desktop 5.0 is distributed in the form of a ZIP file from the main Protege website, and includes the 64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE). So, it is not necessary to have Java pre-installed on your computer to run Protege.
Download the ZIP file
- Go to the Products page on the Protege website.
- Click the "Download for Mac OSX" button to download the ZIP file to your machine.
Move Protege to Applications
- Once the download completes, navigate to the folder where the ZIP file was downloaded. On a Mac, this will typically be your "Downloads" folder. Unpack it and you should see:

Drag the Protege_5.0.0 folder to the Applications directory.
Launch Protege
To launch Protege Desktop, double-click the Protégé.app file in the root directory of the installation (Applications/Protege_5.0.0d).
Allow Protege to run

You will get another warning:
Click on "Open" and Protégé.app will start. The application is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it just as you can any registered app.
For other ways of granting exception or of configuring your Mac's security setting, see Apple's support page [1]
Troubleshooting
Q: When I double-click on the run script, nothing happens, or I see a window that comes up, and goes away!
A: Try running Protege from a console and report any errors displayed in the console window on the Protege User Support mailing list.
- How to run Protege from the console on OS X:
- Open Finder
- Select Applications -> Utilities, then double-click on the Terminal application
- In the resulting Terminal window, change to the directory where you unzipped Protege (e.g.,
cd /Applications/Protege_5.0_beta) - Type
sh run.command
Then report the results back on the protege-user mailing list.
