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
.jarfile. This should open the file if you have Java installed on your system and if the.jarfile is associated with the Java runtime.Use the
java -jarcommand to run the.jarfile. Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory containing the.jarfile. Then, enter the following command:
java -jar filename.jarReplace 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.
