In order to run Exilent you have to make sure you have Java 8 set as default.
Verify your default Java version
Open up a terminal.
- Windows: Start - Command Prompt
- Mac: Finder - Terminal
Type: java -version
The default Java version will be printed out (Java 8 181).
Set default Java version
On Windows installing any Java (JRE of JDK) should be set as default.
On Mac installing a JRE wont be set as default so you will have to install JDK.
