Are you able to use Stardog any amount of time before it is killed? ---

No, I got this error directly after I ran 'stardog-admin server start' ---

I can confirm the same thing is happening on my laptop running Catalina with the following versions of java: java8, java11, openjdk8 and openjdk11. As a workaround, I started stardog in a docker container which is easy to install. I will see if I can reproduce on my second laptop also running Catalina later this week. -Serge ---

I was able to successfully install Stardog on Catalina using brew this weekend running java8. Maybe it's something other than just os/jvm ---

I installed it on my second laptop running Catalina without any issue. Still have not figured out why it does not work on the first one yet thought. -Serge ---

@leroy.kim @Annie_Yu have you gotten it to work. If no, there are three workaround that you can use **#1 install manually from zip** Just follow the instruction for curl found @ [Get Started with Stardog - Get Started Page | Stardog](https://www.stardog.com/get-started/) **#2 use docker** Install docker and follow the instruction for docker found @ [Get Started with Stardog - Get Started Page | Stardog](https://www.stardog.com/get-started/) **#3 fix the homebrew installation** I put this option last as it a bespoke temporary solution. The first two are fully supported and well documented. But for the curious and _ **at your own risk** _ I was able to fix my homebrew installation. I found that brew modifies dylib post install when it installs a package. This is somehow corrupting them and causing the library linker process to fail. I don't fully understand why and still investigating, but I was able to fix my homebrew installation with the following commands 1. download zip as in option #1 2. unzip 3. sudo cp stardog-7.6.0/lib/\*dylib /usr/local/Cellar/stardog/7.6.0/lib 4. clean up After that it work as expected. Having said that, I recommend you use option #1 or 2. If anyone reading this are expert with homebrew and Apple's install\_tool\_name command, please feel free to chip in.
