Zorin OS issues

[Denver2]

So I’ve been having issues such as being unable to run an app that requires java runtime environment and can’t seem to download it, help?

Zorin OS 15 is based on Ubuntu 18.04

1. Your using an outdated Distro.
2. I hope you didn't pay for it and are just using the free version...

To Install Java 8, which is the most compatible still

• sudo apt update
• sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre

Just did it, tried running the thing again, still not able to run.

i forgot to mention that both the exe and jar ones dont work, the exe one is giving me the java error while the jar one just doesn’t work due to the same error but it doesnt even run

try running it in a terminal. The file manager they are using may not support jar execution.

 

cd /path/to/jar

java -jar /nameof.jar

A Windows executable (exe)  has to be run under wine. Can I ask what you are trying to run?

It looks like they have a Java version if I am looking at the correct site.

https://pokehacks.dabomstew.com/randomizer/downloads/UPRandomizer-172.zip

 

Unzip that and try running the jar in it instead.

It didn’t work but you did help me as I found out the file path and ran the jar with the java command, thanks!
