This post is to share tips on how to get around the challenges of installing Tizen Studio 4.1.1 for MacOS Big Sur using the CLI.

Tizen is an open source, standards-based software platform for multiple device categories, including smartphones, tablets, TVs, netbooks and automotive infotainment platforms. Tizen Studio is a comprehensive set of tools for developing Tizen native and Web applications. It consists of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), an emulator, toolchain, sample code, and documentation.

Tizen Studio runs on Windows®, Ubuntu and macOS. Tizen applications can be developed without relying on the official Tizen Studio, as long as the application complies with the Tizen packaging rules.

Installing the Tizen Studio

1. Download the CLI version: https://developer.tizen.org/ko/development/tizen-studio/download?langredirect=1
2. Open Terminal and change directory to Downloads (or the directory where you saved the CLI installer):

cd ~/Downloads

3. Type:

chmod a+x web-cli_Tizen_Studio_4.1.1_macos-64.bin

a. The CLI version I downloaded is 4.1.1. Make sure the latest version matches your downloaded version.

4. Run the installer:

./web-cli_Tizen_Studio_4.1.1_macos-64.bin

5. Use quick keys (shift + command + H) to open “Home”. There you
will see “tizen-studio” and “tizen-studio-data” folders.

Install the packages

1. Open a new Terminal and change directory to “tizen-studio/package-manager”:

cd tizen-studio/package-manager

2. Look for the packages list by entering:

./package-manager-cli.bin show-pkgs

a. Click “cancel” if pop-up appears saying the developer cannot be verified and let the script run.

3. It will return with a list of packages within the “package-manager”:

4. Run this script when you know which package you want to install:

./package-manager-cli.bin install --accept-license --no-java-check <package name>

5. For example, if you want to install the WEARABLE package:

./package-manager-cli.bin install --accept-license --no-java-check WEARABLE-6.0 WEARABLE-6.0-Emulator WEARABLE-6.0-WebAppDevelopment

a. Click “cancel” if pop-up appears saying the developer cannot be verified and let the script run.

6. Once the Terminal completes the installation, go to “tizen-studio” folder and double click “TizenStudio”.

7. Create a new project, click on “template”, and click the “Next” button.

8. You will see the packages that were installed.
