无法在 MacOS 中执行本机二进制文件？

Question

I have found a Java application repository on GitHub which provides the application in JAR format and in the native binary format for different operating systems such as MacOS, Windows, Linux.

I am able to execute the JAR file using the java -jar command but I would like to run the native binary file so users can execute it without installing the Java in their system.

Can someone please inform me how can I run the binary file on Macos? I tried to search and found the command chmod +x name-of-binary but this command does not do anything.

I am really new to this and do not have much idea about this so any suggestion would be really helpful.

Answer 1

The most simple way would be to either open a terminal and manually running the binary, like so:

./<name-of-file>

This would only work if you are running the file in a user who has execution privileges on that file. if you run into trouble with priviliges, that's where I would use chmod. If you need any more specific help, I would recommend posting the link to that GitHub repo for us to look at, and telling us what is it that it should do.
