!!! warning "macOS 10.12 (Sierra) not fully supported, requires cave be run from the command line."
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
New to 10.12 is Gatekeeper Path Randomization, which prevents applications delivered outside of the Mac App Store from running by normal means (taskbar icon or finder).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Until the next release, CAVE on Sierra should be run from the terminal with the command `/Applications/CAVE/cave.app/Contents/MacOS/cave`

## AWIPS Data in the Cloud
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unidata and XSEDE Jetstream have partnered to offer a EDEX data server in the cloud, open to the Unidata university community. Select the server in the Connectivity Preferences dialog, or enter **`edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu`** (without *http://* before, or *:9581/services* after).

## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Localization Preferences Error**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can reset CAVE by removing the **~/caveData** directory (on macOS **~/Library/CAVE**) and then run `cave` again to connect to an EDEX server. Your local files have been removed, but if you are re-connecting to an EDEX server you have used before, the remote files will sync again to your local **~/caveData** (bundles, colormaps, etc.).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**No Images Displayed**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are able to load wire-frame contours but not images, [update your video driver](http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us).
