### IPMIView (java) App wrapper for MacOS**
 
Download the latest IPMIView software from SuperMicro:

[https://ftp.supermicro.com/wftp/utility/IPMIView/Linux/](https://ftp.supermicro.com/wftp/utility/IPMIView/Linux/)

```
git clone https://github.com/TheCase/IPMIView.app
cd IPMIView.app
sh script.sh
```

You should now have an application icon in your Applications folder.

#### Using the KVM Console 

You need to add an `Input Monitoring` exception for `java` in the `Security & Privacy` -\> `Privacy` Tab in `System Preferences`:

- Open `System Preferences`
- Click on `Security & Privacy`
- Click the `Privacy` button/tab
- Scroll down to `Input Monitoring`
(you may need to click the lock in the lower left and enter your password to add a new item)
- Click the plus `+` symbol
- In the top of the new window, select MacintoshHD in the pulldown
Library -> Java -> JavaVirtualMachines -> jdk\<version\>.jdk -> bin -> Contents -> Home -> bin 
- Double click on `java`
- Make sure the box next to `java` is now checked and close the window

When you attempt to launch the console, you will be presented with a message that says the developer is not verified.  DO NOT click "Move to Trash" - this will  delete the files necessary to run the graphical console.  Once you get this message:

Open System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General Tab and click Allow Anyway next to the message about the jnlilib that was blocked.

At this point you can try the "Launch KVM Console" button. You should be presented with another dialog about developer verification. Click the 'Open' button.

This will trigger another denial window for the sharedLibs jnlilib. Repeat the approval process for this next jnlilib in the Security Preference Pane.  

After performing these two approvals, the console should open.


### Troubleshooting

If you have Java issues loading the app, please verify that you can run the app from the command line (and outside the jursdiction of this supplied wrapper).

```
cd ~/Applications/IPMIView.app/Resources/IPMIView/
java -jar IPMIView20.jar
```

If you have issues with IMPIView loading correctly with this method, please contact SuperMicro support. The problem is related to the app and your computer setup, not the wrapper.
