My Forge Won’t Install

[banaboo88]

I have downloaded launcher as well as downloaded multiple times on multiple different devices and have had trouble every single time. This time when I try to open Forge I get the message that says “Could not find the main class: net.minecraftforge.installer.SimpleInstaller. Program will exit.” I have tried jarfix and that does not work. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I would really appreciate it. By the way I am using Java Minecraft 1.15.2 as well as Forge 1.15.2

Do not download the launcher, download the installer.

If the installer does not work, please post the log (it will be in the same folder as the installer, after you run it, with the same name, but end with .log, possibly .jar if you are in windows and have file extensions turned off, which is the default I believe. But it will say it is a log file)

Where would I find the log?

I cannot find the log I have checked in folder but it is not there. What do I do now?

Yes I did

I feel so stupid asking this but how do I run the installer from the command line? 😬

This is what I got

You typed the filename incorrectly, the file does not start with the word minecraft

 

 And you need to install Java 8 hotspot http://adoptopenjdk.net
