Hi,

I am using **SonarQube 8.0** , **Java 13.0.1** on **MacOS Mojave 10.14.6**  
When running the ‘console’ command I get the following error: **Process exited with exit value [es]: 1**  
**Detailed info:**

Hi,

SonarQube is unfortunately not compatible with java 13 yet. Please downgrade your jdk to 11

Thank you for the fast reply Pierre!  
However after downgrading to java 11 I get another error:  
Do you know what might solve this?

This tell us that the user running SonarQube does not have write permission to the sonarqube `data` folder.

Hi Pierre, can you please provide the steps for fixing the SonarQube write permissions?

Hi, well it’s not a “SonarQube” write permission, but an OS user permission. You need to check what user is running SQ, and make sure that this user as full write access to every folders under /Users/buildserver/Documents.

Also, even if it’s not probably the error here, i would discourage the usage of path with space.

Good morning,  
I have a problem with starting SonarQube. I work on Windows 10. I added environment variables and changed the path in wrapper.conf.

- Java 8 update 251,
- JDK 11

**I have error:**  
_AbstractProcessMonitor] Process exited with exit value [es]: 1_

**es.log**
