Ok, so I have being have fun with this. The first attempt to install 1.14 forge (first time ever attempting to install forge period) failed because... well I didn't have java installed. Now I have java installed (confirmed via the windows command prompt) and I have downloaded the installer three times now. Once I tried booting it up directly with java and the command prompt command java [forge install file] and that didn't work. Next I changed the file from a .jar to a .java and open it that way, and from what I can see the command prompt (or at least a black window with white text) opens for a split second then crashes. The third attempt was me trying the 2nd over again after I re-downloaded the installer. So... help my idiotic self please. Thank you in advance for any help.
Greetings! I am new to forge, so I looked up a few tutorials and they all appear to differ to the current UI. Never the less, I tried to use the installer download to install the forge. The file downloads, however I can only open it, not run it. Am I missing something or is it just because 1.14 is new?
