Install GraalVM on macOS M1

#graalvm #macos #applesilicon

We can download required version of GraalVM using curl

curl --create-dirs --output-dir ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines -OL https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-ce-builds/releases/download/vm-22.0.0.2/graalvm-ce-java17-darwin-amd64-22.0.0.2.tar.gz
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This command will download graalvm-ce-java17-darwin-adm64-22.0.0.2.tar.gz to ~/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines. Now we should extract archive’s content by tar

tar xvzf graalvm-ce-java17-darwin-amd64-22.0.0.2.tar.gz
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now we can add GRAALVM_HOME environment variables to .bashrc or .zshrc

export GRAALVM_HOME ="$HOME/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java17-22.0.0.2/Contents/Home"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

also, we can add GraalVM bin folder to the PATH . This allows us to easily access executable commands from shell

export PATH="$GRAALVM_HOME/bin:$PATH"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now we can easily install native-image using gu command

gu install native-image
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I've seen so much search, AI, RAG and Agentic stuff. Going from data siloes to federated search and building an agent to perform something on top of it. Feels like I should build something myself. Fine, I'll build something myself.
