Setting up Java

Exilent requires Java 11+ JRE/JDK installed.

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.

12.x.x means Java 12.

Removing other Java versions

If you are on Mac you have to remove other versions of Java in.

To do this, navigate to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ in your file explorer and delete all folders.
