Yes, that's another thing. I know decentralization is a good thing, but hey.. :]

I need some help. I posted this on the nemcoin forum, but it seems it is not available at the moment. I have a 0.1 stake on Nxt AE. I want to redeem it. Thus, I downloaded the Mac client from bob.nem.ninja. I installed JRE 1.8 version. But, neither the webclient nor the desktop client is starting. Do someone else has the same problem? Is there a other way to redeem the stake?

Thanks in advance!

I get a 404 error 

Some people have had a hard time getting NEM going on a Mac, but I can confirm it is possible and this is how I did it.

It is actually pretty easy once you know how to do it, but like anything if you don't know, it is really hard.  hahaha


Step 1: You will need the developers kit of Java.  Go here and download the version for Mac.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
(this may or may not be necessary, if you can get NEM to work with the regular java 8, please let me know in a comment)

Step 2: Download the stand alone version of NEM from here http://bob.nem.ninja (get the latest version)

Step 3: unpack the file to the desktop and if done correctly, you should see a folder called “package” on the desktop

Step 4: open terminal and type: cd Desktop/
Step 5: next in terminal type: cd package
Step 6: next in terminal type:  chmod +x nix.runNis.sh && chmod +x nix.runNcc.sh
Step 7: next in terminal type:  ./nix.runNis.sh
If things go correctly, you will see terminal start to get really active.

Step 8: Open up a different and new terminal window and type:  cd Desktop/
(To open up a new terminal window two finger click on terminal and choose "new window". Do not close the old window.)
Step 9: next in terminal type: cd package
Step 10: next in terminal type: ./nix.runNcc.sh
If it works, terminal will be very active

Step 11: go to http://localhost:8989/ncc/web/index.html in Safari.
You should see the NEM screen.  You can now create a wallet.  You will have to download the whole blockchain which takes a while.  Post your address and somebody will send you coins.

Here's the post:

There have been a lot of people wondering about how to set up NEM on a mac.  I can confirm that it does indeed work.  I have written step by step detailed instructions about how I did it.  

This info was added both on the NEM forum and medium post:
