Hello,

Does anyone know if Bonita can be run from the M1 chip based Macbook Pros? Any information is greatly appreciated.

 

Regards.

Hi,

Bonita is runs on the JVM. So the M1 support is tight to JVM vendors support for this architeture.

I’m pretty sure there is a compatibility in those machine that support x86_64 intel architecture, so you should be good to go out of the box.

EDIT: after some testing on a M1 machine, the Studio is only compatible using the INTEL emulation (rosetta).

If you want a more native support, afaik, there is Azul that provides an [ARM 64-bit jdk11 binary](https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/?version=java-11-lts&os=macos&architecture=arm-64-bit&package=jdk). Maybe other vendors willsooner or later also release native builds.

Note that it has not been tested. If you have an M1 and want to give it a try do not hesitate to give us feedback ;).

You’ll need to edit the BonitaStudioCommunity.2021.1.app/Contents/Eclipse/BonitaStudioCommunity.ini file and change the -vm to replace the used jvm when starting Bonita.
