Can't connect Hbase shell

Question

I have installed Hbase 1.2.6 on Mac OS X 10.11.6 just for stand-alone testing purpose. I have configured the hbase-site.xml and the hbase-env.sh. Giving the command ./hbase shell to launch shell I am having the following error

    $ bin/hbase  shell

Hbase doesn't support Java 9 at this time.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12081

Try setting a different JAVA_HOME in the hbase-env

The problem was Java 9, with Java 8 the script works properly. I have installed Java 8 and changed the JAVA_HOME variable in conf/hbase-env.sh

Per this SO answer, change the JAVA_HOME in /usr/local/Cellar/hbase/1.2.6/libexec/conf/hbase-env to

export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v '1.8*')"
