I don't know if this is common or not, but I have a school owned computer with no Java Runtime installed. I know that Forge is a Java Archive Executable file. If I ctrl-click (mac) open the app, and hit ok for the unidentified dev thing, it says it needs admin password. If I try to use terminal with the /java -jar command it says I need a JDK because there is no Java Runtime present. If I do try to install a JDK or Java Runtime it requires the installer and therefore a admin password (which I don't have). I have done numerous searches on how to execute the JAR file with file converters and other modded platforms, but cannot find a solution to my problem.

Also you might ask, "If he does not have Java Runtime, how is he playing minecraft?" Well, my friend helped me install a copy of minecraft (that I paid for) that includes or somehow finds Java to run on.

Please respond with suggestions!

I am trying to use the Forge 1.11. Should I use 13.19.0.2160?

Also I have jre-x32 as a folder, will this help at all for the java thing?

Thanks!

For the first thing, I am talking about the file itself. it is called jre-x32

 

For the second thing, if you open the folder there is another folder called 1.8.0_25. Inside that is all these files that i assume are for the runtime. the sixth thing down is a document titled "release" and if you open it, it has the following text:

JAVA_VERSION="1.8.0_25"

OS_NAME="Windows"

OS_VERSION="5.1"

OS_ARCH="i586"

Well i can run minecraft...somehow...

I typed "java -version" into my terminal app and this is what came back:

 

"No Java runtime present, requesting install."

I cannot do the request install because of the admin password. But I will do some digging into the minecraft java thing. Sit tight or post more suggestions.
