  1. Make sure you have Java installed. (how to install Java)
  2. Open the terminal or command prompt and enter java -d64 -version.

It will output something like:

java version "1.8.0_202"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_202-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.202-b08, mixed mode)

This output could be different for you.

  • Make sure your java version is 1.8.0 (Java 8), Java 9 and higher is not supported at this time (unless it includes JavaFX/OpenJFX).
  • If it says This java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM, make sure you installed 64-bit Java. (the online installer does not install 64-bit Java, use the offline 64-bit installer)
  1. If you don't, install Java again using this tutorial. (you can install this alongside your existing Java installation and it shouldn't cause any problems)

If you are still having problems, you can also try the v3.0 beta here, which includes Java so you won't need to install it yourself.
