Unable to get autopsy to start on MAC v 10.14.6

Still receiving error but it must be something about my configuration. Marking it solved.

Jeff, as you can tell from the guide, installation is a step intensive process. To have the best chance of success, remove any related brew packages and any previously installed java kits. Then step through the install guide and report the step you are stuck at, pasting the command and error you receive. We might be able to get you up and running.

I’ll give it a try in a couple of days. I saved the console log from the prior install but it’s 352k making it hard to find anything. I know there was an issue but not finding it at the moment.

I meant that you should just start at the top of the guide, work each step, and then stop and paste any errors you receive a particular step. That will help me guide you. I was able to install and run Autopsy 4.15.0 following the same process as is in the guide.

The console log isn’t necessary.

Started again and this is how far as I got. Extracted the files and same results.

Try running ‘./bootstrap’ before ‘./configure’ in your sleuthkit directory.

@Jeff, while @downey is right about first running the ./bootstrap script before the building the “fixed” version of sleuthkit-4.8.0, it requires some additional build software you might not have (i.e., automake, autoconf).

But since Autopsy 4.15.0 has been released and requires sleuthkit-4.9.0, I’d recommend using those versions for installation. You can find the correct sleuthkit-4.9.0 source package here.

It’s nice to be getting help from people that are knowledgable.

Try doing a ‘brew install libpq’ then re-run ‘./configure’ and make. vidmate app instasave.onl
