Hey so I am very new to Linux as a whole, I have a computer that I am turning into a Minecraft server, and I wanted to get experience with Linux, as I have never truly used it, I am using the Ubuntu kernel and following guides for everything. I am following this guide on YouTube linked here:
and I have followed the setup this guy has ex: /Documents/Server/Attempt1 (I replaced the server name found in the video) I have fully updated java to:
"java version "17.0.1" 2021-10-19 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39, mixed mode, sharing)"
I have in my Attempt1 folder the Forge installer: "forge-1.18.2-40.1.31-installer.jar" and that is it.
I use the command "java -jar forge-1.18.2-40.1.31-installer.jar" and then it loads up the installer, since I am wanting to download a server, not a client, I choose the server option, however I route the path of the server to the /Documents/Server/Attempt1 folder, and then I am given the error message: "Failed to download version manifest, can not find server jar URL." I have hit a wall at this point, and looked at other forums and have found nothing useful to me. Does anyone know what kind of jar URL I need? I thought the forge installer.jar would be the one it is looking for, but it appears not? If anyone is able to help, that would be greatly appreciated, and if you need anymore information or screenshots, I will provide them, however I might need instruction to ensure I send it the right way. Thank you again for your help!
