Tried different solutions like adding -data but this is the only solution that worked for me. – Arlettaarlette 4/12, 2018 at 18:8

This is a bug, you can run command:

1. cd mat.app/Contents/MacOS
2. ./MemoryAnalyzer

Apparently still a bug – Sunbreak 12/1, 2023 at 18:37

it works on my M1 pro, using MemoryAnalyzer-1.14.0.20230315-macosx.cocoa.x86_64.dmg – Ezraezri 11/9, 2023 at 16:10

It looks like a permission problem with the default directory.

From this discussion : Memory Analyzer » Setting up workspace directory?.

It is indicated that you should edit your MemoryAnalyzer.ini file, and add those lines (on two separate lines, and before the vm arguments), replacing the second with the path where you want the MemoryAnalyzer to write its content:

-data
<desired path of your working directory>

This worked for me because I have corporate nanny-ware installed that prevents me from altering ini files, Info.plist, etc. So: 1. download and install eclipse.org/mat/downloads.php 2. mkdir ~/.mat 3. cd /Applications/mat.app/Contents/MacOS 4. ./MemoryAnalyzer -data ~/.mat. – Devinna 2/2, 2022 at 7:23

Find the MemoryAnalyzer.ini file .
Add the following content:

-vm
<your Java1.7 path>

or path to the 'java' executable from an installed JDK8 – Austronesia 11/6, 2019 at 19:5

On MacOS, it worked for me when I add the java path with /bin suffix – Eldreeda 5/3, 2022 at 13:54

This didn't work for me, but export JAVA_HOME="/Users/matschaffer/.asdf/installs/java/oracle-17"; open /Applications/mat.app did. – Onanism 18/5, 2022 at 4:35

One more solution is to

open mat.app --args -data ~/<your-folder>

Does the latest Eclipse Memory Analyzer snapshot build work better for you? This is a signed and notarized dmg not a zip so might be easier to install.

I was having issue running MAT(Eclipse memory analyzer) on Mac. So I have tried installing "Eclipse Memory Analyzer" plugin in Sts that I use, it worked.

You can also install MAT as plugin in Eclipse/STS that you use already.

adding a quick reference for people using sdkman,

$JAVA_HOME is set to

/Users/{yourusername}/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/

now modify the startup config for the program

nano /Applications/MemoryAnalyzer.app/Contents/Eclipse/MemoryAnalyzer.ini

add the following two separate lines before any vmargs

-vm
<the-value-of-your-java-home>/bin
