How to open/run .jar file (double-click not working)?
To open a .jar
file on a Windows system, you can do one of the following:
Double-click the
.jar
file. This should open the file if you have Java installed on your system and if the.jar
file is associated with the Java runtime.Use the
java -jar
command to run the.jar
file. Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory containing the.jar
file. Then, enter the following command:
java -jar filename.jar
Replace filename.jar
with the name of your .jar
file. This will run the .jar
file using the Java runtime.
If you are using a Mac or a Linux system, you can use the java -jar
command in a similar way.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
