Unable to install sikuli on Mac OS 10.13.2 with java 9 --- workaround

Asked by pradgnya

----- workaround -------------------
you might try with 1.1.2 nightly (experimental fixes for Java 9, no guarantee)

as mentioned on the download page for 1.1.1
https://launchpad.net/sikuli/sikulix/1.1.1

Java 9 not supported.

The best is to use Java 8 for SikuliX.

Remove Java 9 if you do not really need it.

If you need Java 9 for other things, run the SikuliX stuff from a Terminal, after having said:
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexex/java_home -v 1.8`
