El Capitan and Forge

[jtaylor]

Apparently El Capitan OS and Forge do not like one another. I have upgraded JAVA and I have tried multiple versions of Forge and still end up with the same error message:

 

The Java JAR file

"forge- 1.8-1 1.14.4.1577-universal.jar" (this just happens to be the version i took the screenshot of)

could not be launched.

 

Check the console for possible error messages.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think what you're trying to do is launch the Forge universal jar by double-clicking it and receiving this error. This is wrong. If you need to install Forge, go to files.minecraftforge.net and download and run the installer jar. If you need to launch Minecraft with Forge, first make sure you've installed Forge and then use the Vanilla launcher to launch Minecraft with the Forge profile.

No, it is correct. The right way to launch a forge server is to launch the universal jar file generated by the installer.

 

In that case: OP, please specify if you're trying to run a client or a server.
