[derbyscoreboard-devel] Opening Scoreboard in Safari on Mac

[Nancy H. <ne...@ho...>]

I have been running the scoreboard for the Aroostook Roller Derby group for a couple of months now on someone else's laptop, a PC.  I own a MacBook and would love to be able to practice at home, instead of just at scrimmages/bouts (which is understandably worrisome).


I have been trying to open the Scoreboard on and off for a couple of days now. I've read as much as I understand about how to do this and determined that using Chrome would not be a good idea.


So, as of now, here's where I am after reading the ReadMe file multiple times and having several false starts:

- downloaded both the Scoreboard (through Chrome) and Java through Safari

- installed Java

- put the Java file in the same "lib" directory as the Scoreboard [jre-8u111-macosx-x64.dmg]

- closed Safari and restarted it

- checked that Java is working in Safari (yes)

- opened the "start.html" in Safari


All it tells me is that the Scoreboard isn't running.What am I doing wrong or what else could I try?


Thanks,
