I use PHPStorm for all my development – it’s a robust and very featured IDE that has got even better recently since version 7 was released. As such it’s the application I spend a large percentage of my working day in, and therefore typical that it’s the source of another issue with OSX Mavericks after my previous issue with Vagrant. PHPStorm simply refuses to start after a OSX Mavericks update.
So how do we go about fixing PHPStorm after an OSX Mavericks update?
The issue is that OSX Mavericks doesn’t come with Java 6 installed, which is what PHPStorm requires to run. To fix it, go here and install the official Java package for OSX. After install, PHP Storm will work again.
Hooray. Maybe now I can actually get some work done today…
Thanks for the post – for any others wishing to get some work done, you were absolutely correct! The download links is correct and all works a treat.
Thanks a ton for sharing!
That worked – thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the comments. Just upgraded the computer with a SSD and PHPStorm is the only app that is not working 🙂
