Can't open and install forge on MAC

[Aahlborn]

I get this message after downloading the forge .jar file.  I am trying to figure out mods for my daughter and the MAC doesn't seem compatible...

 

Here is the message I am getting:

 

forge-1.16.4-35.1.4-installer.jar cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

 

macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

Do you have Java installed?

I'm on mac too, try right clicking, hovering over "open with", and selecting "Jar launcher". Sounds dumb but that worked for me.

I do not think I have Java installed. It’s not used for anything else we do.
