Install GraalVM and Native-Image on an M1 Mac (Java11)
This is a quick guide on installing GraalVM on your M1 Mac - this guide also works for x86_64 Macs also.
This will install GraalVM for Java11 - different Java versions are available here: https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-ce-builds/releases
Install GraalVM using Homebrew
brew install --cask graalvm/tap/graalvm-ce-java11
export JAVA_HOME=$HOME/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-22.0.0.2/Contents/Home
Give GraalVM permission to run
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-22.0.0.2
Install using sdkman
SDKMAN is a brilliant tool, you can install it here: https://sdkman.io/install
sdk install java 22.0.0.2.r17-grl
export JAVA_HOME=$HOME/.sdkman/candidates/java/22.0.0.2.r17-grl
Install native-image plugin
Firstly update your path
Brew version:
export PATH=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-22.0.0.2/Contents/Home/bin:"$PATH"
SDKMAN version:
export PATH=$HOME/.sdkman/candidates/java/22.0.0.2.r17-grl/bin:"$PATH"
You can now install the native-image plugin via the gc command.
