Spot requires Java version 1.6 or 1.7. It does not work with version 1.8. A clean Sierra installation comes with Java 1.8. We advise you to install Java 6 before installing Spot. You can download this from Apple:
If you are using OS X 10.12 (Sierra) on your Mac with the most up-to-date Java you might get this error message when you try to start Spot:
To fix this follow the directions for installing Java 6 above, then reinstall Spot.
If you have OS X 10.12 (Sierra), when you install and then run Spot, you might see one of these error messages:
Mac OS X Sierra tightens the security control over applications that are not from Mac App Store and identified developers. This includes Spot. To make Spot run, users need to change the 'Security & Privacy' setting.
