If you're on Windows click on the Windows icon, type "cmd" and press enter.

On mac press Command-space to launch Spotlight and type "Terminal", then double-click the search result

How to run a program from the command line (works on Windows, Mac I don't know):

Open the command prompt and type the name of the drive the file is in. If the file is in C:/Users/yourUser/desktop/whatever type "c:" in the command prompt. If the file is in D:/ThisIsAFolder type "d:" etc.

Then press enter to navigate to the drive.

Now navigate to the file. Type cd and the path. Example: "cd C:/this/is/the/path/to/the/installer"

Also execute it with enter.

Now you can run "java -jar installerName.jar"

Execute it with enter and post the error here

I hope this helps

But you need to replace installerName.jar with the name of the forge Server or installer or whatever you are trying to run that you downloaded

Type this in the cmd after you did all the things above but replace installerName.jar with the name of the forge server file
