*DRAFT* My CIS-CAT Pro Assessor Linux Bundle with JRE included is giving me an error on my Mac

Problem

Solution

At this time the imbedded Java which is packaged with the Linux CIS-CAT Pro Assessor 4.27.0+ download is not compatible with the MacOS.

To resolve this error please:

1. Navigate to the WorkBench Downloads and downloaded the CIS-CAT Pro Assessor Bundle and select Linux> without GUI> without Java

   

2. Completely remove the old/existing /Assessor directory completely and replaced it with the new unpacked .zip which contains no jre directory

   1. Before removing this directory and replacing it, you will be unable to use CIS-CAT Pro Assessor v4.27.0+ with either version of Java 8 or 11 downloaded from Adaptium

   2. Even if you run a chmod -R 777 to completely open up every single permission on the /jre and /Assessor directories you will still not be able to run the Assessment.

3. After removing and replacing the correct Assessor bundle you can run a similar scan through the interactive steps (-i) and successfully produced an HTML (-html) report, verbose logs (--info), and a score:

   Assessor % sudo sh Assessor-CLI.sh -i -html --info

4. Once the directory containing /jre is removed and replaced with the “without Java” Bundle you should now be able to successfully launch Assessor over Terminal and run a scan.
