Unable to start Ignition on MacOS 10.14

I recently installed ignition version 7.9.10.20181128-1303; I have Java version 8 update 181.

On clicking “Finish” after installation, an error popped up saying ignition.sh start exited abnormally.
On running ignition.sh start on the command line in /usr/local/ignition, I get the following:

Waiting for Ignition-Gateway…
WARNING: Ignition-Gateway may have failed to start.

Also here is the wrapper.log file contents:

Any ideas? Thanks.

You have the same issue as the user in this post, where it turns out he had Java 10 on his path.

It’s probably the same issue here. Type java -version into a terminal and see what you get.

Changed jdk version and JAVA_HOME. It worked! Thanks
