I downloaded OSBot and tried to start it but got this error message.

I have redownloaded OSBot and reinstalled java and rebooted my computer but still get the same message every time I try to open OSBot. Any suggestions? I have looked at the guides on the forums, I also looked at the forum/java, but that just made me more confused because it was a windows based explanation. Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Which OS version you are on?

Also you seem to have an outdated java version. I'm running java build 13.0.2 on OS Mojave and osbot works fine.

Try to update your java. System preferences -> Java -> Update.

I ran into this a while ago before i got my gaming pc. I found that if you uninstall all java then install JDK 8 (i think it was) it works.

Sometimes you need to use a command in the terminal to open osbot.

Thats just from my experience, probably is a much easier and better way to do it.  

If you visited the url in your screenshot, the very first sentence you see is this:

You need to have Java 8 installed on your machine

 

If you don't use java for anything else, just go ahead and uninstall every version of java and install only java 8.
