ColdFusion 2016 Installation

I can't run ColdFusion 2016 after installed. I open terminal window and type in this command:

/Applications/Coldfusion2016/cfusion/bin/coldfusion start

After that, it prompted me to type the command: sudo ./coldfusion start

You must be the root user to configure the ColdFusion connector. Start ColdFusion as "sudo ./coldfusion start" to configure the connector. Once connector has been configured, start ColdFusion as "./coldfusion start" to run ColdFusion as non-root user".

I did all the steps however it failed to run. Can anyone help me with this problem? I greatly appreciate your answer.

According to your screenshot, you didn't type the sudo command correctly. "command not found". Why didn't you just add "sudo" to the command you typed the first time? - Brad Wood
(Edit) You must be the root user to configure the ColdFusion connector. I do not mean this sarcastically, but did you read the error message? Not a Mac user, but going strictly off what it says, it sounds like you must use sudo for the first command. That said, this is better suited for ServerFault - Leigh

You literally need to add the sudo command to the beginning of your start command. MacOS is requiring admin access to start the server.

sudo /Applications/Coldfusion2016/cfusion/bin/coldfusion start

When this runs, you'll be prompted for your admin password before it starts.
