Using the steps below I got it to run on my M1.
  1. Download and install the latest version of Minion.
    -->https://minion.mmoui.com/?download
  2. Download and install JRE (Get the "macOS ARM64" version if you are on Apple Silicon).
    -->https://www.java.com/download/manual.jsp
  3. Set JAVA_HOME in Terminal:
    Code:
    export JAVA_HOME='/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home'
  4. Run Minion directly from Terminal:
    Code:
    java -jar /Applications/Minion.app/Contents/Java/Minion-jfx.jar
  5. Profit!


EDIT: I did not clean out my ~/.minion folder or any config files. And Minion was working just fine on macOS 13.x without any extra steps needed.
Hi! I came here all the way to comment this worked for me! I didn't even have an account on the forum lol

Today is the 13th of March 2024. Minion was working last time. I probably updated my macOS in the meantime. After doing this method above, Minion did open. (It was not opening)

Thanks!

Edit: Minion devs, please update Minion to work with latest macOS. Thank you! <3
