Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting on Mac OS X

When running socat, port 6000 is already taken

• Run

  lsof -i tcp:6000 # to find the PID using port 6000
  kill -9 PID
  

When trying to run the commnd to open the IDE gui, it fails and in terminal 1, socat is outputting errors (e.g. Invalid arguments)

• Sometimes on your first install of socat, you have restart your Mac. That fixes that usually.
