Hi, I have followed the steps [https://slo-sleuth.github.io/tools/InstallingAutopsyOnMacOS.html](https://slo-sleuth.github.io/tools/InstallingAutopsyOnMacOS.html) here to install Autopsy on my macOS Big Sur. But up till the last step, it shows Unable to locate a Java Runtime that supports (null) just like in the screenshot below. I’ve tried the troubleshooting steps and none of them seems to be the problem. Please send some help​:sob:😭 Thank you!! ![Screenshot 2022-08-31 at 11.58.37 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/sleuthkit/original/2X/c/c3356fa1c8fb31d1841fc208edc729566ad1cd39.png) ---

I had the same problem. Try inserting jdkhome=“$JAVA\_HOME” as line 83 in “autopsy” file. Good luck ---
