+<P>
+The installed service may fail to start with Mac OS Majave (10.14) and later due
+to changes in the Mac OS system protection feature.  When the service fails to start it does not
+provide any error or logging to help determine the cause.  Although granting <i>Full Disk Access</i> 
+to <i>Java</i> can be a workaround, this is rather drastic and is not considered desirable 
+since it will allow any Java application to run as root.  For this reason, installation
+of the Ghidra Server as a service on Mac OS is discouraged.
