### Change the Java Executable
The launcher automatically discovers valid installations of Java on your computer. If you do not have a valid installation, the launcher will prevent the game from launching (otherwise it would crash and burn). A valid installation is **Java 8 x64 greater than update 52**.
* Click **Choose File**.
* Navigate to the JRE/JDK you wish to use.
* Select the executable.
* Windows: `bin/javaw.exe`
* macOS/Linux: `bin/java`
**Why is Java 10+ not supported?** Forge and LaunchWrapper [only support Java 8](https://github.com/Mojang/LegacyLauncher/pull/11).
The launcher automatically discovers valid installations of Java on your computer. If you do not have a valid installation, the launcher will prevent the game from launching. WesterosCraft requires **Java 8 x64 greater than update 52**.

#### Manually Installing a Valid Version of Java
If you want to manually install Java rather than having the launcher do it for you, follow these steps.
* [Download Java 8 x64](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html).
* Windows: Windows x64 (`jre-8uVERSION-windows-x64.exe`)
* MacOS: Mac OS X x64 (`jre-8uVERSION-macosx-x64.dmg`)
* Linux: `sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre` (or equivalent for your distro).
* macOS: Mac OS X x64 (`jre-8uVERSION-macosx-x64.dmg`)
* Linux:
* OpenJDK (recommended): `$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre`
* Oracle: [Instructions](https://java.com/en/download/help/linux_x64_install.xml)
* Try to launch the game again, the launcher should find the version you just installed.
