I'm trying to download 1.8.9 forge but it says the libraries won't download even though I've tried to fix the problem by downloading the libraries and putting them in the right spot.

 

How do I get to that?

It's a text file with the same name as the installer in the same directory.

forge-1.8.9-11.15.1.1722-installer-win.exe.log

@diesieben07

Alright I got everything and i have the command thing up and i typed everything in but i dont know what to type for the name of the installer thing what do I type?

What version do I get? mdk or universal

Nevermind I just got the .jar one

@diesieben07

Yea I got it what do I type specifically?

i renamed it hello.jar

 

I just tried hello.jar and it still said it didn't work

 

tell me what to type

I did and it didnt work!

I typed hello.jar.jar and it worked

I did all that, java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar [Forge.jar] (I renamed to just Forge) and when i ht enter it still did not show up saying that it was unable to access that file, why is that?

 

Stop placing brackets everywhere. Remove them. Also, most likely you've disabled file extensions in Windows, so if the file is already jar type, don't name it *something*.jar, just *something*.

 

java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar Forge.jar
