Java version issue with a nextflow notebook in MacOS

[mdrishti]

Hi,

I have installed the docker, nextflow and epi2me-labs notebook on MacOS according to the instructions mentioned in this link:

https://labs.epi2me.io/installation

When I run nextflow, docker on the the terminal, they run fine and detect the appropriate java version installed by me (v17). I set the environment variables (JAVA_CMD, JAVA_HOME) according to the new version However, when I run the epi2melabs notebook, I get the following error:

Unable to find any JVMs matching version "1.8+". ERROR: Cannot find Java or it's a wrong version -- please make sure that Java 8 or later (up to 18) is installed NOTE: Nextflow is trying to use the Java VM defined by the following environment variables: JAVA_CMD: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java JAVA_HOME: Unable to find any JVMs matching version "1.8+". ERROR: Cannot find Java or it's a wrong version -- please make sure that Java 8 or later (up to 18) is installed NOTE: Nextflow is trying to use the Java VM defined by the following environment variables: JAVA_CMD: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java JAVA_HOME:

I searched for similar issue on the ONT website community forum, but I did not find any issue reported for epi2me. This forum can only be accessed if one has bought ONT products. I am also very new to the MacOS. I was wondering if someone else has faced a similar problem, maybe with some other nextflow notebook.

I will appreciate your help.

Regards,
