Arduino Tool Path on a Mac

Having issues getting the standard Arduino Blink.ino to compile. Get output as follows:

Code:

Arduino     : Executable not found
     : Check that Tool Path is correct


Attempted to set the compiler path to the following with all not working:
- /Applications/Arduino\ IDE.app
- /Users/myusername/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/avr/1.8.6
- /Applications/ArduinoIDE.app/Contents/MacOS/Arduino\ IDE

Tried using SimulIDE 1 and 0.4.15 with Arduino IDE 2.1.0 on a MacOS 10.14.6 and MacOS 12.6.3 on Intel Macs. Have not got access to any of the newer M1 or M2 macs.

Thanks for any help. Really would like to use SimulIDE.

I worked out the path myself. The tool path needs to be to the Java folder within the Arduino.app (1.8.19).

So manually enter the Tool Path to be:

Code:

/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/

Thanks for the solution, I was scratching my head...

FWIW, was having same problem (so thanks a lot for your answer!), but I see no Java folder! (Arduino app 2.2.1)

But found out the simulIDE app accepts the /Contents folder as a valid Tool Path

Now on to trying it out!
