Installation Issues - Can't find anyone with exact same issue - First Time User

[Sebastian Naumann]

Hello everyone,

 

hopefully you are all doing well. Since I am new to this, perhaps my issue
is a simple solve (at least I hope so), but I am simply stuck since I cannot
find anything online about the exact same issue.

 

Here is the situation:

 

My Setup:

 

Java: Version 10.0.2;

Java SE Runtime Environment 18.3: "build 10.0.2+13" No clue what this means.

Java HotSpot 64 Bit Server VM 18.3: "build 10.0.2+13, mixed mode".

 

(I got this info from running java -version on the command line)

 

Then I got my Environment Variables set as follows:

 

JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10.0.1

JRE_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jre-10.0.2

 

In the PATH variable it's as follows: %JAVA_HOME%/bin; .other things.;
%JRE_HOME%/bin;

 

So next thing was downloading the apache-ofbiz-16.11.04.zip and the
corresponding apache-ofbiz-16.11.04.zip.asc and KEYS.txt file. I also got
GPGWIN installed;

 

I verified the whole thing.no problem.then unpacked it to C:\Program
Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-ofbiz-16.11.04 (under here are all
the actual application files).

 

Next thing I did was go to cmd and follow the instructions from the
documentation: gradlew cleanAll loadDefault (I guess I did not have gradle
installed, bc it downloaded the ZIP and created a .gradle folder under the
Administrator User folder.)

 

That was all that happened. The cmd went back to C:\Program Files\Apache
Software Foundation\apache-ofbiz-16.11.04>

 

So then I ran gradlew ofbiz and all that happened was that after a couple of
seconds it went back to C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\apache-ofbiz-16.11.04> (Crashed?).

 

This is where it is at right now.after several hours and several reinstalls.
Please can someone advise on what to do.everyone else seems to have problems
in the build.mine doesn't even seem to start it, am I correct?

 

Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for the huge mail. I wish you all a great
Sunday.

 

Sincerely,

 

Sebastian

Dear Sebastian,
Your problem may be due to your java version.

First, ensure that you have installed the JDK (not only the JRE).
Second, please, try with JDK 8 instead of JDK 10. I had a very similar issue in Ubuntu by using the JDK 10. Once I switched to JDK 8 all worked perfectly. You can use either Oracle JDK 8 or Open JDK.

Regards,

Francisco
