Setting up Java

Exilent currently works only with Java 8 (JRE/JDK).

here can be several Java versions installed on a computer at the same time. When you double click a JAR file it will be executed on the Java version which is set as default.

If you get errors about unrecognized option and not being able to create Java Virtual Machine then its possible that you have Java 9+ installed and set as default.

Verify default java version

Open up a Command Prompt/Terminal and type java -version. This will print out the current default java version.

1.8 means java 8, if you anything else then you need to follow the next steps.
