These libraries failed to download. Try again. (mac) 1.17.1

[Matthias Gibon]

hello
I am curently having some issues installing the latest 1.17.1 forge version: 1.17.1 - 37.0.27

This problem occure with this version but also with other versions such as 1.8.9
Basically when I try to download forge I go into the downloads file and open it, click on "install client" and then "OK" and after the download i meet this error message:
file:///Users/gibonmatthias/Desktop/Capture d’écran 2021-08-06 à 22.48.33.png

I have seen in the common problem and solutions in the rules a problem similar to mine but can't download the file
btw I already reinstalled minecraft, i do not have any mod/ launcher/ ressource pack installed, i updated java and tried to turn off my fire wall

thanks for your help and sorry for the bad english

1) You an't give out links to files on your computer. Nobody can access them. You have to upload them to a website.

2) We need the installer log, which is in the same folder you downloaded the installer to.

3) We don't support old versions anymore. Use 1.15+

[Matthias Gibon]

1) sorry my bad here is the error message

2) I think that the installer doesn't get installed, could you precise where exactly i need to search

3) I know this is why i'm asking for 1.17.1 and not 1.8.9

sorry I am not the best using mac so i get easly confused, is it this?

1.17.1-forge-37.0.27.json

[Matthias Gibon]

I am sorry to take your time like that but please understand that it is not easy for someone that has no experience using mac and poor english skills to find something when the only indication is "the same folder where you downloaded the installer" 

Is this the right file? 

JREInstallLog.txt

You need to open a terminal window, and make sure you are in the same folder/directory as the installer. Then run

Quote

java -jar ./forge-1.17.1-37.0.27-installer.jar

 

[Matthias Gibon]

I am on mac tho how do i do that on mac?

i ran the command and here is what it says

[Luis_ST]

how did you named the forge-server file?

[Matthias Gibon]

it is currently named forge-1.17.1-37.0.27-installer.jar

 

[Luis_ST]

is the run file in the same folder as the server.jar file?

[Matthias Gibon]

where is the server.jar file suppose to be?

[Luis_ST]

in your server folder...

[Matthias Gibon]

I am sorry but what is a server folder and where am i suppose to find it

[Luis_ST]

the server folder should be there where you installed the server

[Matthias Gibon]

this is making me go crazy because i don't know what a server is

[Luis_ST]

yeah, i'm a bit stupid
somehow I came from the installer to the server, no idea why ...

where exactly is your installer (path)?
and from where do you run the command line (path)?

because the command line searches for the installer in the current folder and does not find any
java -jar ./forge-1.17.1-37.0.27-installer.jar

run the command again and replaces the '.' with the complete path, like:
C:/Programm/java/forge-1.17.1-37.0.27-installer.jar -> should look like that

[Matthias Gibon]

hey so the path does not work for me because i'm on mac so i used the path to the file and here is what i get: https://postimg.cc/0bFMHPhW am i doing something wrong?
