Kind of New to this but I've tried everything

[GGHades]

I have all the normal server stuff, I've downloaded the installer and I use it, it brings the universal file into the folder, most tutorials I've tried to watch use this jar but for some reason I cannot launch it properly. It doesn't make a mods folder or anything like that. The Server itself runs perfectly fine I just can't figure how to make it a forge server rather than vanilla. it might be a simple solution but this is really my first time trying to make a forge modded server.


[EDIT] Okay, so I got the server running, however now when I try to allocate more ram into it the way I normally would with a vanilla server this is the error I recieve.

 

BAT file looks like this:

@ECHO
java -Xms1024M -Xmx4048M -jar Forge.jar nogui
pause

 

 

I changed the name of the forge jar file into just "Forge"
I do have Java 8.

I just fresh installed 8 for all Java versions and the same thing comes up.

You are using Java 9 or 10. You must use Java 8.

Sorry I was referring to the development kit as well.

Yes, I noticed that I had 10 as well as 8 installed, so after uninstalling 10 I was able to run it. My next issue is I'm capped at 1500 mb for the ram,but that's for another day.
