Apr 09, 2020 At the time this post was written the release of XQuartz was version 2.7.11. It will work on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6.x) or later, up to and including OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8.x). Download XQuartz using the following link: XQuartz v2.7.11 (ca. 75.9 MB) The latest release of XQuartz, however, is version 2.8.1.

I was recently introduced to a fun little board game called Ticket to Ride. It is a great way to pass the evening with friends and family. But, what do you do when you don’t have anyone available to play the board game?

Fortunately, electronic versions of Ticket to Ride are available from a lot of places. It is available from the Apple App store for your iPhone or iPad, from the Google Play store for your Android phone, from Amazon for your Kindle Fire and from Steam for your computer.

I downloaded the Android version and found that it runs fine on my phone. However, even with my new Sony Xperia Z3v, the rich details of the game overwhelm the screen on a phone. My eyes just are not good enough anymore to make out all the critical details on the phone screen. While my wife can attest that it looks great on her iPad, I don’t own an iPad.

So I decided to buy the computer version of the game as well. The purchase process at Steam was only slightly painful. Afterwards, I ended up with the Steam game launcher.

But I ran into a potential showstopper. It came after I had made the purchase, and after everything was installed. I attempted to launch the game, only to get the message that Steam requires Java 6.

It turns out that the Steam game launcher requires a very old and obsolete version of Java. Steam still using the last version of Java that was shipped by Apple, which is Java 6. This version of Java is the version that Apple first shipped back in 2013. This is because Apple is no longer supporting Java. They are leaving updating Java to Oracle. Fortunately, you can still download the Java 6 from Apple that the Steam game launcher requires at https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US.

The problem with the Steam game launcher requiring an obsolete version of Java is that the rest of the world has moved on to Java 7 or Java 8. If you are using applications that depend on Java, the odds are good that you already have a later version of Java installed.

If you do have new versions of Java, even if you do download and install Java 6 from Apple, your system may not be able to see it, because of the newer version Java installed. Some folks have suggested ways to deal with this by first removing the newer versions of Java first, then installing Java 6, and then reinstalling your newer versions of Java. In fact, if you can plow through it, that is essentially what Oracle is saying in their online post at …

Personally, I decided that that is a lot of work, and it runs the risk of messing up my machine, which has a number of JVM and JDK’s already installed. I figured that this approach was too much hassle and too much risk, just to play a single game.

So, overall, the challenge is that different applications need different versions of Java. I needed to keep the different versions of Java from stepping on each other. I have found a graceful way a way to do this, but the way that I found requires that you have several utility programs installed. These are utilities that I personally have already installed, and I have been using for some time. But since most folks don’t have these utilities installed, I will describe the process for installing each utility, in order.

I have found that easiest way for me to manage multiple versions of Java is by using a utility called jenv. The easiest way to install jenv is by using the Homebrew package manager. Homebrew seems to work best if you already have the Xcode Command Line tools installed. Installing the Xcode Command Line tools requires that you have Xcode tool installed.

Note: I know that there are Internet sites that describe how to get Homebrew working without the Xcode Command Line tools being installed first. I just found that having the Xcode Command Line tools installed first works for me, so that is approach that I am describing here.

You may not have any issues with Java, so you might try to just purchase the game Ticket to Ride, install it and see if it runs. Only if that approach fails, do you need to continue.

If the KISS step didn’t solve the issue, which it didn’t for me, then read on, and I will describe how I was able to get this game to play. My approach assumes that you need to maintain multiple copies of Java on your machine. If this isn’t your situation, and you are okay with only have an obsolete version of Java, you may want to just try to download and install Apple’s final version of Java Java 6 on your Mac and see if that is sufficient for you. I describe the steps to do that below.

Note: The final steps of the process below described below assume that you have installed the game Ticket to Ride, and that it was installed in the standard Apple Applications folder.

1.1 Download Xcode from Apple’s App Store

The first step is to download Xcode. It is available from the Apple App Store at https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12. It takes forever to download, but it is free.

After downloading the Xcode dmg file, you will need to double-click on it to actually install it. Double-clicking on the file will open a window. In the window, just drag the Xcode icon to the Applications icon, and then agree to the license.

1.2 Install the Xcode Command Line tools

After you have the basic Xcode installed, you can install the Xcode Command Line tools. This you will need to do from a terminal window.

1.2.1 Bring up a Terminal

The Mac terminal program is located in the Utilities folder under Applications. Just double-click and it will open a terminal, which is sometimes called a command line screen or a DOS window.

1.2.2 Enter the Install Command for the Xcode Command Line tools

After opening a terminal window, enter the command to install the Xcode Command Line tools …

Once you have the installed the Xcode Command Line tools, you need to install Homebrew.

Homebrew is the package manager that the Mac should be shipping with. The Homebrew home page is http://brew.sh. Once you have experienced the ease of installing and maintaining packages with Homebrew, you will never want to go back to managing the packages on your Mac by hand.

In order to initially install Homebrew, just reuse the same terminal window that you used to install the Xcode Command Line tools. Just enter the following magic command line. Like all magic, the incantation must be entered precisely, so I recommend cutting and pasting the line directly.

At this point, some have suggested installing XQuartz, which is “a version of the X.Org X Window System that runs on OS X”. I do not have XQuartz installed, and I haven’t had any issues with Homebrew. But, if you want XQuartz, it is available as a standard Mac installer at http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.7.7.dmg.

Once you have installed Homebrew, testing its overall health and keeping it current is trivial. Just enter …

With Homebrew installed, installing jenv, and keeping jenv current is also trivial …

Now you just need to tell your Mac command pat
