JRELoadError on Startup [macOS] #11

Closed edwardloveall closed 7 years ago

edwardloveall commented 7 years ago

Hello,

I'm running Mac OS X 10.11.6 (15G1004). I downloaded the DMG, copied the application to my ~/Applications folder and opened the app. It immediately gave me a dialog box saying nothing but JRELoadError

Anything I can try?

looks like you are missing the Java Runtime or the right version. If you open a terminal and type java -version it should say "version 1.8". If not you can download the MacOS JRE from here: https://www.java.com/de/download/

Ah I'm running version 1.6.0_65. Maybe that comes on mac by default? I'll try downloading that and see what happens

So interestingly, I installed java from that page but java -version still shows 1.6.0_65. However the app works! Must be a path issue. Thanks for the assist. I'll close this and open other issues if I find them.
