Installing on Mac OS X¶
EDB provides a graphical interactive installer for MacOS. You can access it two ways:
Download the graphical installer from the Downloads page and invoke the installer directly. See Installing directly .
Use Stack Builder with PostgreSQL to download the EDB installer package and invoke the graphical installer. See Using Stack Builder .
Prerequisites¶
You must have a Java JVM (version 1.8.0 or later) in place before Stack Builder can perform a Migration Toolkit installation. Adoptium offers prebuilt OpenJDK binaries from fully open sources.
You must also set the JAVA_HOME environment variable. Use the
following command:
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
Using Stack Builder¶
If you are using PostgreSQL, you can invoke the graphical installer with Stack Builder. See Using Stack Builder .
In Stack Builder, follow the prompts until you get to the module selection page.
On the Welcome page, use the drop-down listbox to select the target
server installation from the list of available servers. If your network
requires you to use a proxy server to access the internet, select
Proxy servers and specify a server; if you do not need to use a
proxy server, click Next to proceed.
Expand the Registration-requiredandtrialproducts node.
Expand the EnterpriseDBTools node and select MigrationToolkit .
Select Next and proceed to Using the graphical installer .
Installing directly¶
After downloading the graphical installer, use the terminal to execute the following command. If necessary, provide a password when prompted. Superuser or administator privileges are required.
sudo ~/Downloads/edb-migrationtoolkit-55.5.0-1-osx.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh
Proceed to Using the graphical installer .
Using the graphical installer¶

On the Setup Migration Toolkit page, select Next .

On the Ready to Install page, select Next .
An information box shows the installation progress of the selected components.

After installing Migration Toolkit, you must install the appropriate JDBC drivers before performing a migration. See Installing a JDBC driver for more information.
