Neo4j Desktop Install Error when downloading Java 8 on Mac

Question

I've downloaded Neo4j desktop on my computer and as part of the install process, it installs Java 8. Right now it throws the following error after the download is completed:

Initialization error: Error: MD5 sum of the downloaded file did not match the expected value. Please try again!

Can't seem to find anything online / anyone else with this problem. Any help would be appreciated!

Screenshot of the error that the installation is throwing.

Answer 1

There appears to be a bug in the download script, I've raised a ticket

here is a workaround, tested

Download http://cdn.azul.com/zulu/bin/zulu8.21.0.1-jdk8.0.131-macosx_x64.tar.gz

Copy the compressed file to: /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/Neo4j Desktop/Application/distributions

Relaunch Neo4j Desktop

Should complete the install.

Answer 2

I got similar error

Initialization error: Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, ..etc

I tried to installed Neo4J desktop in windows 7 64bit OS.

Uninstalling Node.js worked for me.
