IDE installation on Linux and macOS

When I install the NetBeans IDE and the plugins on Windows, it seems to be ok, but if I install it on Linux or macOS and open an existing project, there are a lot of error indicators and a build generates the message "Cannot run program "/usr/bin/ioninja-server": error=2, No such file or directory". The IDE installation seems to be successful. What am I missing?

Thank you.

Be sure you specify the correct path to the IO Ninja installation location inside NetBeans settings:

9319c0db-c1ba-4ed0-99c9-051f9bfd4699-image.png

The defaults are chosen to work out-of-the box for .msi, .deb or .rpm installers; for portable .tar.xz packages, however, you need to explicitly navigate to the installation directory.

That was it.

On Ubuntu Linux using the .deb installer, the directory entries were:

Binary Directory: /usr/bin
Conf Directory: /usr/etc/ioninja

On macOS using the .dmg installer, the directories were:

Binary Directory: /Applications/IO Ninja.app/Contents/MacOS
Conf Directory: /Applications/IO Ninja.app/Contents/Resources/conf

Thanks,
