1. Download both the `dist` and `distpreparation` folders from Jenkins, and unzip it in a directory of your choice.
   Apache NetBeans is built on the Apache Jenkins: https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Netbeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbeans/ Based on the version your generating an installer for ensure you download the correct files for the release/job as outlined in the main Apache NetBeans Release vote thread.
   
   

2. Update the permissions of the `installermac.sh` script which will be used to create the installer

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ chmod 777 distpreparation/netbeans/XX.X/vcX/installer/installermac.sh

   
   

3. Generate the installer

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ distpreparation/netbeans/XX.X/vcX/installer/installermac.sh dist/netbeans/XX.X/vcX/netbeans-XX.X-bin.zip XX.X YYMMDD certificate.txt

   
   

   Note
   certificate.txt is a file containing your Apple Developer ID Certificate

   1. Test the Installer locally

      In order to test the installer works locally you will need to first remove files created during the previous step, once this is removed you can install Apache NetBeans as normal from the newly created installer:

      Code Block
      language bash
      rm -rf distpreparation/netbeans/XX.X/vcX/installer/nbbuild/installer/mac/newbuild/netBeans/nbide/build

      Installers will be generated under dist/bundles
      
      

4. Notorize & Staple Installer

   Code Block
   language bash
   xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "org.apache.netbeans-XX.X" -u "AC_USERNAME" -p "@keychain:AC_PASSWORD" --file Apache-NetBeans-XX.X-bin-macosx.dmg

   
   

   Info
   "AC_USERNAME" = Your Apache Apple Developer username, for example: johnmcdonnell@apache.org

   
   

   Info
   Notarising the application can take a few minutes, you can check the progress of the notorization process via (where UUID is the UUID provided when you started the notarization process): $ xcrun altool --notarization-info <UUID> -u "johnmcdonnell@apache.org" -p "@keychain:AC_PASSWORD"

   Once the notarisation process is complete, you need staple this to your distribution:

   
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   xcrun stapler staple Apache-NetBeans-XX.X-bin-macosx.dmg

   
   

5. Sign Installers & Upload to SVN
   Same as required for the Windows and Linux installers
