Autopsy just released 4.7 and of the changes is that it again officially support OSX (it hasn't in many years). It includes install instructions that use brew, but this seems like a good opportunity to update to 4.7. See: https://www.autopsy.com/autopsy-4-7-includes-link-analysis-database-viewers-triage-and-more/ and specific instructions here: https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/blob/autopsy-4.7.0/Running_Linux_OSX.txt

I no longer maintain autospy. It would be great if somebody could propose a pull request that updated both autopsy and sleuthkit. I'd be happy to review and merge such a PR.

Autopsy is now at 4.10, so I'm going to change the name of the ticket.

There are again install instructions for Autopsy on a Mac (they had stopped supporting MacOS for a while). However, they require that that certain applications be installed in specific locations, based on using Homebrew. The instructions are here: https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/blob/develop/Running_Linux_OSX.txt But, then unix_setup.sh checks for photorec being in /usr/local/bin (there is a port for it, but it doesn't install there). And, sleuthkit-4.6.5.jar. There is a separate ticket https://trac.macports.org/ticket/58065 for upgrading sleuthkit to 4.6.5, but the current version doesn't include building a .jar file. Perhaps it needs a different flag?

I'm no longer maintaining autopsy. Please consider submitting a PR to get it updated.

That's too bad. It would be great if someone could step up to maintain autopsy. I think that it would be a bit of work to get the java bits "connected". Sleuthkit has been updated to the newest version, but autopsy is way behind.

I have been working on the required updates in sleuthkit. I still have not been able to get the jar to build yet. I am also not a java expert. I will attach my current sleuthkit Portfile diff for reference.
