installation issue with launching ColdFusion 2016 server on Mac OS X El Capitan

[CFnewbiehere]

I'm installing a developer profile of ColdFusion 2016 to Mac (Version 10.11.6) and I'm having an issue with completing the installation because I can't run the web server. Per the instructions, I went into my applications directory, ColdFusion2016/cfusion/bin to start the server but I don't know where to type the required "./coldfusion start" to start the server. Please help. Thanks.

try this   >$ sudo ./coldfusion start  

You need root access to start ColdFusion on *nix based OSes.

do I add this to the command line terminal on my mac because that didn't work. Thanks.

Launch Terminal

Then run this command

sudo /Applications/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/bin/coldfusion start

Looks like I got it to work. Thank you. Next I'll try installing CF Builder...
