trying to upload snowflake I am required to install Java SE 6. But later versions of Java are on my computer preventing me from installing the legacy version. Any work-arounds?

Trying to upload app named snowflake requires me to install Java SE 6 but later versions of Java are already on my computer preventing me from installing the legacy version. Any work-arounds for this?

What later versions do you mean? If Oracle's latest Java, it and Apple's Java 6 have nothing to do with each other and can be on your Mac at the same time.


Is this where you're downloading Apple's Java 6 from?

You posted in the High Sierra forum without any mention of having upgraded to Catalina. I had to presume you were using High Sierra and based my initial response on that.


So, that's correct. Apple's Java 6 is 32 bit only and will not run in Catalina.


Taking a quick look, it appears Snowflake is an ODBC driver meant for working with an SQL database? The only thing I can think of that might help is to install the 64 bit JDK version of Java.

Click the radio button to agree to the license, then download the macOS .dmg file (172.78 MB).
