iOS Question installing b4i in local Mac

[Kadandale Ganapathy Bhat]

I am a subscriber of b4i and now I want to install b4i in my local Mac computer.
I followed the steps mentioned in tutorials and when I entered in the terminal some error messages found

smspsrc@SMSPSRCs-MacBook-Air ~ % cd downloads
smspsrc@SMSPSRCs-MacBook-Air downloads % cd b4ibuildserver
smspsrc@SMSPSRCs-MacBook-Air b4ibuildserver % jar b4ibuildserver.jar
Illegal option: b
-v generate verbose output on standard output
-f specify archive file name
-m include manifest information from specified manifest file
-n perform Pack200 normalization after creating a new archive
-e specify application entry point for stand-alone application
bundled into an executable jar file
-0 store only; use no ZIP compression
-P preserve leading '/' (absolute path) and ".." (parent directory) components from file names
-M do not create a manifest file for the entries
-i generate index information for the specified jar files
-C change to the specified directory and include the following file
If any file is a directory then it is processed recursively.
The manifest file name, the archive file name and the entry point name are
specified in the same order as the 'm', 'f' and 'e' flags.
Example 1: to archive two class files into an archive called classes.jar:
jar cvf classes.jar Foo.class Bar.class
Example 2: use an existing manifest file 'mymanifest' and archive all the
files in the foo/ directory into 'classes.jar':
jar cvfm classes.jar mymanifest -C foo/ .

please help me

I followed your instruction but got the error message. What is wrong with me?

smspsrc@SMSPSRCs-MacBook-Air ~ % cd downloads
smspsrc@SMSPSRCs-MacBook-Air downloads % cd b4ibuildserver
smspsrc@SMSPSRCs-MacBook-Air b4ibuildserver % jar b4ibuildserver.jar

Step #6 is done on the Windows computer, in B4i IDE.

When I compiled, Mac asks password. Where can I get password?

Another question is, how to use b4i directly in Mac machine and create a ios project without using Windows computer?

I use a VirtualBox VM with Win'10
