Need mac help

[xxgruntxx]

Im just coming back after years and now I have a new Mac. I cant get the bot to run at all, its saying that my Java version is 18. I've followed the link to the java section on here but the post seems out dated/not well detailed for mac users who aren't already savy. 

Im trying to figure out how to uninstall all java versions and only have 8 if thats whats needed. I've followed a uninstall java program, iv'e copy pasted unistall script into terminal and then downloaded java 8 but its saying im running 18 still.

Is their a simple way to explain how to remove all java's and only have 8 so that it would work on my mac?

 

Edit: when I go into preferences>Java and check version it says im running java 8 but when I try to open the jar it would give me the message about running Java 18 and to visit the forum/java.

Mac book pro user here as well. Install windows free via bootcamp and safe yourself a lot of trouble, everything osbot related runs perfect this way

/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8.0 --exec java -jar OSBot\ 2.6.42.jar    do that in terminal and it should run just make sure to do cd and where the osbot jar is

I pasted it said unable to access jar file. 

What does make sure to do cd and where the osbot jar is mean?

do you know what a directory is if so cd is basically going to the directory so lets say your osbot jar is in the downloads then you would type cd downloads and it would open that folder

I just did a workaround by running paralell program to run windows 10. It then let me run the bot no problem, seems to be the easiest solution as someone else mentioned.
