Expected Behaviour

An installation method that doesn't require an X server for no reason.

Actual Behaviour

While attempting to create a window on a machine with no screen, the installer crashes with the error 'No X11 DISPLAY variable was set' - since there is no X server installed.

It should also be noted that the `nogui` option I've seen some people using has no effect; the output is identical.

Ah, works great, many thanks!

 

Full command for anyone that stumbles across this later:

    java -jar forge-*-installer.jar --installServer

  • radj307 changed the title to [RESOLVED] [Debian 11] Headless Installer
