Install on Mac
This section includes instructions for installing OpenText Functional Testing for Developers on Mac.
Manual installation
Download the installation file and perform the installation on your machine:
-
Make sure your machine meets the installation Prerequisites before you start, otherwise the installation will fail.
-
Download the installation file for Mac. You can obtain this file from the free trial page or by accessing your account on the Software Licenses and Downloads page.
- Unzip the file.
- Close all Safari browser pages.
-
Launch the installation by running the UFTDeveloperSetup.app setup package.
-
Follow the on-screen instructions.
On the Installation Options page, select an installation mode:
Mode For computers on which you plan to... UFT Developer runtime engine only Run existing tests without modifying them.
Full installation Develop and run tests.
Select the IDEs on which to install the IDE plugin and enter the relevant path to the IDE. Make sure to include the full path to the IDE, including the file. For example: /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app
Note: The installation can install the IDE plugin only on one of the Eclipse/Spring Tool Suite/JBoss Developer Studio IDEs. Accordingly, you can enter only one IDE path for this option.
When the full installation is complete, a UFT Developer menu is added to the IDEs you selected, and UFT Developer project templates are available when creating a new project in the IDE.
Note: If you run the Full installation but do not select any IDEs for the IDE plugin, the SDKs are still installed in /Applications/UFTDeveloper/sdk.
- When using MacOS Ventura or later, if the IDE plugins were not installed automatically, you can install them manually. See Install the IDE plugins on MacOS Ventura or later.
- When the installation is complete, continue with Post installation.
Default installation location on Mac
The default installation folder is /Applications/UFTDeveloper
After installation, you can move the installation folder to another location if you need to, in which case, you must define a system variable called LEANFT_HOME that points to the new location.
Tip: If you move the installation to <users>/Applications/UFTDeveloper, you do not need to define the LEANFT_HOME system variable.
Install the IDE plugins on MacOS Ventura or later
When using MacOS Ventura or later, if the IDE plugins were not installed automatically, install them manually:
Eclipse
-
Copy the <Installdir>/IDE/Eclipse/dropins folder.
-
In the <Eclipse_installdir>, right-click Eclipse and select Show Package Contents.
-
Paste the dropins folder you copied into the Eclipse folder. If the Eclipse dropins folder was not empty, select Merge instead of Replace to avoid data loss.
Note: If you do not see the UFT Developer extension in Eclipse after adding it manually, try starting Eclipse from terminal using the -clean
argument (for example: open Eclipse.app --args -clean
).

-
Copy the <Installdir>/IDE/IntelliJ/plugins/LeanFT folder.

In the <IntelliJ_installdir>, right-click IntelliJ and select Show Package Contents.
