Help on Mac

I downloaded the latest, when I click it, if I chose run client, I get an error message saying I need to run version 8 manually at least once and shuts down.

If I click extract, it put the .jar file in the minecraft folder.

 

When I click on the .jar file in the minecraft folders the Java minecraft server windows pop up. It shows stats, players and log and chat.

Then I launch the game but it when I go to edit the profile of the player, there is no forge profile. Therefore my mods aren't loading

Can you please help?

Thanks for the answer...

 

I did run minecraft before using forge...forge never worked on my machine.

I am running the 1.8.3 version of minecraft.

when I click the forge file .jar, I cannot install the client and therefore cannot use forge.

 

So what you're telling me is that I need to somehow find a way to run minecraft 1.8 first?

Then install forge then install minecraft 1.8.3?

 

Sorry but that doesn't make sense to me. Obviously I am missing something.

Thanks for the help
