To install JavaFX on a Mac, you will need to have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system. JavaFX is included with the JDK, so you don't need to install it separately.


Here are the steps to install the JDK on a Mac:

  1. Go to the Oracle website and download the JDK for Mac.
  2. Open the downloaded installer and follow the prompts to install the JDK.
  3. After the installation is complete, open a terminal window and type the following command: java -version. This will display the version of the JDK that you have installed.
  4. If you want to use a specific version of the JDK, you can set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the directory where the JDK is installed. To do this, open the terminal and type the following command: export JAVA_HOME=<path to JDK>, where <path to JDK> is the directory where the JDK is installed.
  5. To ensure that the JDK is in your system path, open the terminal and type the following command: echo $JAVA_HOME. This will display the value of the JAVA_HOME environment variable. If it is set correctly, it should display the path to the JDK.


That's it! You have now installed JavaFX on your Mac.
