So, I have been trying to install forge, but there's a problem. So when I downloaded the .jar file, (note: I am on mac) and opened it, it said something about some jdk or something and it was required. I couldn't get a screenshot, but I downloaded the jdk. Then after I ran it, this happened:

So, then I tried to execute in terminal using: 

 

java -jar forge-1.14.4-28.0.45-universal.jar


and this is what I got, (my name is censored):

To make it a little easier, the error I got was: "no main manifest atrribute"

A google search revealed it had something to deal with the manifest file of it or something like that. I even tried this on minecraft 1.12.2 forge jar, it yielded the same results. NOTE: ALL FILES WERE DOWNLOADED FROM THE OFFICIAL FORGE WEBSITE.

Can you provide the URL you got Forge from instead of "THE OFFICIAL FORGE WEBSITE", many have made their site look like the official in order to get you to download their BS and I've seen many people come here after being hoodwinked by these sites.

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.
