Thanks again for the quick reply. Unfortunately I forgot to post the results from when I attempted your suggestion earlier: root@ubuntu:~/minecraft# java -jar '/home/user/minecraft/forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1184-installer.jar' --installserver Exception in thread "main" joptsimple.UnrecognizedOptionException: 'installserver' is not a recognized option at joptsimple.OptionException.unrecognizedOption(OptionException.java:89) at joptsimple.OptionParser.handleLongOptionToken(OptionParser.java:493) at joptsimple.OptionParserState$2.handleArgument(OptionParserState.java:56) at joptsimple.OptionParser.parse(OptionParser.java:433) at cpw.mods.fml.installer.SimpleInstaller.main(SimpleInstaller.java:26) I've been playing around with various syntaxes to try and install it, even updated my java repositories, to no avail. Can't help but feel like it's some super obvious tiny thing I'm missing. Really grateful for your time and suggestions. Edit: Seems I was correct about the super tiny issue. For anyone else experiencing something similar, CAPITALS matter. "--installServer" instead of "--installserver" fixed the issue. Thanks so much for your help!

I obtained the universal.jar from the installer .jar. I was attempting to follow these instructions: Here is the output generated when I attempt to run the installer .jar: root@ubuntu:~/minecraft# java '/home/user/minecraft/forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1184-installer.jar' Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /home/user/minecraft/forge-1/7/10-10/13/0/1184-installer/jar Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: .home.user.minecraft.forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1184-installer.jar at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:323) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:268) Could not find the main class: /home/user/minecraft/forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1184-installer.jar.

Also tried the "latest version" edition from the link in the forums, with similar results: java '/home/user/minecraft/minecraftforge-installer-1.6.4-9.11.1.953.jar' Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /home/user/minecraft/minecraftforge-installer-1/6/4-9/11/1/953/jar Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: .home.user.minecraft.minecraftforge-installer-1.6.4-9.11.1.953.jar at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:323) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:268) Could not find the main class: /home/user/minecraft/minecraftforge-installer-1.6.4-9.11.1.953.jar.

Forge Version Used: forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1184-universal Minecraft Version Used: minecraft_server.1.7.10 Fresh install of vanilla server was successful. Ran the server, all is well. Followed the instructions located at http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Installation/Universal Was going smoothly until I attempted the Vanilla server install of Forge. That's when I got this: root@ubuntu:~/minecraft# java '/home/user/minecraft/forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1184-universal.jar' Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /home/user/minecraft/forge-1/7/10-10/13/0/1184-universal/jar Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: .home.user.minecraft.forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1184-universal.jar at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:323) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:268) Could not find the main class: /home/user/minecraft/forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1184-universal.jar. Program will exit. Also consulted the forums for similar issues and found something else to try. Here's what that did: root@ubuntu:~/minecraft# java -jar '/home/user/minecraft/forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1184-universal.jar' --installserver 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 at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:323) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:268) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:270) at cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.ServerLaunchWrapper.run(ServerLaunchWrapper.java:25) at cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.ServerLaunchWrapper.main(ServerLaunchWrapper.java:12) Any help regarding this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
