Error trying to install JDK8 U11 OSX 10.10 Yosemite

Question

Today, Oracle JDK8 U11 was released.

When I try to install .pkg on OSX yosemite 10.10, I get this error and cannot continue.

Answer 1

The OSX version is stored in /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

We can temporarily change the OSX version before installing the package.

• Change OSX version 10.10 to 10.9:

  sudo sed -i '' 's/>10.10</>10.9</' /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

• Install Java and don't forget to change JAVA_HOME in / Library / Java / JavaVirtualMachines / jdk 1.8.0_11.jdk

• Restore OSX Version

  sudo sed -i '' 's/>10.9</>10.10</' /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
