fiji-launcher-macOS-arm

Modified version of the ImageJ launcher script for Fiji for compatibility with ARM-native JREs on Apple Silicon.

To run Fiji natively on Apple Silicon, the suggested route would be:

  • Download the "No JRE" version of Fiji
  • Obtain an ARM-native version of the JRE from Oracle, or install OpenJDK from Homebrew
  • The installers above will install the JREs system-wide, but you can also package them locally in the Fiji.app/java subdirectory.
  • Copy the Info.plist and ImageJ-macosx launcher provided in this repository into the Fiji.app/Contents and Fiji.app/Contents/MacOS respectively.

As of December 2021, Fiji packages an Intel-only binary of imagej-launcher. While this can be compiled as an ARM64 binary (see this thread ), the launcher is not compatible with recent ARM-native versions of the JRE provided by Oracle or OpenJDK. An alternative solution would be to use an ARM-native JRE known to work with imagej-launcher, such as Azul.
