- I did not run from IntelliJ, instead moving my web app’s WAR file manually to the webapps folder. I downloaded a new version of Tomcat, version 9.0.27. I dragged in the Postgres JDBC jar to the /lib folder. I used the BatChmod app to set the permissions of the Tomcat folder. To the conf folder, I created the Catalina & localhost folders.

Software listed on the downloads page falls into three categories:
- BCOE provided - Requires BCOE account
- BCOE account are available to BCOE students Note: CS students are supported by CS Systems not BCOE Systems
- BCOE account are available to UCR students once officially enrolled
- BCOE account are available to Extension students once officially enrolled
- BCOE account are available to BCOE students
- UCR provided - follow UCR guidelines (http://mysoftware.ucr.edu)
- Freeware - refer to individual software licenses


Access to BCOE software requires VPN access and an Engineering account in good standing (CS students).
If some kind of way you have magical permission problems, like download and / or install updates from App Store, or download your iTunes shoppings, or few application permanently asking your admin username and password thenmaybe you have a permission problem in the /var/folders/zz folder. This is THE temp foder for the whole macOS system.
Software Center is an application that can install BCOE provided/approved software on Engr domain computers.

COMSOL Multiphysics is a finite element analysis, solver and Simulation software / FEA Software package for various physics and engineering applications, especially coupled phenomena, or multiphysics. COMSOL Multiphysics also offers an extensive interface to MATLAB and its toolboxes for a large variety of programming, preprocessing and postprocessing possibilities. The packages are cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux). In addition to conventional physics-based user interfaces, COMSOL Multiphysics also allows for entering coupled systems of partial differential equations (PDEs). The PDEs can be entered directly or using the so-called weak form (see finite element method for a description of weak formulation). An early version (before 2005) of COMSOL Multiphysics was called FEMLAB.

Chmod is the OS X (Unix) Terminal command for manipulating file permissions and whether a file can be executed or not. You can learn more about Chmod, file permissions, and ACL here (for something clear and simple) and here (for something more detailed and technical).
For the most part, Chmod is fairly straight forward and easy to work with. But it does mean digging around in Terminal, and that’s not everyone’s cup of tea, or even if it is there may be times when it’s nice to just make those Chmod changes via the nice OS X graphical user interface (GUI).
BatChmod to the rescue
Lagente freely provides a nice app called BatChmod. Get it here.
It has three major functions:
Batchmod App Download
1) Change file/folder permissions without Terminal. Along with executable status and the Access Control List (ACL) that is often set on files and folders.
2) Unlock files/folders/disks you’ve lost access to. This is typically an ACL issue, and BatChmod will let you change those settings to something that restores your access.
Batchmod App
3) Empty stubborn files from the Trash can. Sometimes you may find you can’t empty the Trash can because a stubborn file digs its heals in and refuses to go. Finder might report the file is in use. BatChmod gives a way to force empty the Trash can. Voila, stubborn files be gone!
