I have installed ignition on Mac. The local host is not working- bowser couldn’t find the server. Wrapper log is as below- ```auto STATUS | wrapper | 2018/06/07 00:54:44 | Java Service Wrapper Standard Edition 64-bit 3.5.35 STATUS | wrapper | 2018/06/07 00:54:44 | Copyright (C) 1999-2018 Tanuki Software, Ltd.

> [@anuragrattan23](#): > > Unrecognized option: -d64 You have Java 10 installed on your system - Ignition 7.9.6 or higher will support Java 9, but Java 10+ compatibility is not coming until Ignition 8.0. If you're the latest version of Ignition (7.9.8, presently), you can run the gateway with Java 8 or 9 on the gateway, and 6, 7, 8, or 9 for the designer and clients. ---
