Installer won't run

[Speedemon]

I just tried getting forge today so I could play Flans Mod. When I went to install the program, it gave me an error: "This Application Requires A Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0" . I don't understand this because I updated Java just after I saw this and it still did not run. I need help! I am running on Lubuntu Linux and I am running the program through WINE. I might try to run the installer on another computer and put the files on this one.

I installed the .jar file and I can't find the command to run the .jar file.

java -jar <file> does not work for me

Error: Unable to access file.jar

I did. I just put "file" there.

[Speedemon]

No I just put "file" there.

Error: Unable to access jarfile forge-1.8-11.14.4.1563-installer.jar

 

 

I hope that fixes the confusion.

Thank you!  It is working now! I did not know what to do. I feel so stupid.
