I can't get GUI to work #159

Hello, I'm stuck on trying to run the Moppy2 GUI. I have installed JAVA as I usually used to on every computer. It seems that the GUI needs something different and this usual JAVA is version 8. I tried everything to find JAVA 11 and I don't get it. I always hated JAVA, now it seems that JAVA hates me. I tried looking in wiki for some links and couldn't find anything except for two other environments that didn't do anything only after installing. I think the wiki needs to be updated with an information for newbies.

i found that out (i think) https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/#/java-11-lts it self-overwrites the JAVA_HOME variable so the GUI should work

I haven't put a link or instructions to a Java installer largely because it's kind of a varied process depending on your system, and Google searches generally do a fine job explaining how to install Java or fix any issues.

What OS are you running?
What is the error message you're getting?

If you're installing a fresh Java anyway, I'd say at least go for 17 (if not 18). Microsoft has a build and installation of OpenJDK available here that worked fine for me this week on my fresh Windows 11 install.
