Trying to Install on my Mac.

by **rickysad** » 05 Jan 2014, 04:13

I have Mac OSX Version 10.6.8.
I have done a test in Safari that shows I am running Java.

I clicked on forge.command and get this error from terminal
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: forge/view/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Recent versions of Forge require Java 7 and your computer is limited to Java 6. See number 12 in the Forge Frequently Asked Questions topic.
