Setting up Java

Exilent currently works only with Java 8.

There 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.

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.
