Setting up Java

Exilent requires the latest Java 12 JDK.

There can be several Java versions installed on your computer. When you double click a JAR file it will be executed on the Java version which is 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.x means Java 8, if you have anything else then you need to follow the next steps.

Removing other Java versions

If you are on Mac you must remove other versions of Java before installing Java 8.

To do this, navigate to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ in your file explorer and delete the folders which are not Java 8.
