I am on Ubuntu 18.04 and whenever I use the universal .jar installer nothing happens but when run through the terminal I get this:
"We appear to be missing one or more essential library files.
You will need to add them to your server before FML and Forge will run successfully.java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.minecraft.launchwrapper.Launch

I'm using this for Singleplayer play.
