Fixing OSBot not starting.

[Explv]

How to fix OSBot when it won't start

 

1. Confirm you have Java 8 installed:

 

 

 

- Open the command prompt (CMD) in windows or terminal in Mac OS / Linux

- Type java -version

- The output shoudld contain java version "1.8.XXX" where XXX is some number e.g. java version "1.8.0_65"

- If this output does not appear, or you have a different version of Java installed go to the link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/download

  and install the latest Java 8 JRE

 

2. Confirm java will open OSBot:

 

Windows:

 

 

Open notepad and copy the following code:

cd C:/Users/%username%
for /f "delims=" %%x in ('dir /s /od /b OSBot*.jar') do set recent=%%x
java -jar "%recent%"
echo %recent%
pause

Save the file as osbot.bat  with file type set to All files 

 

Run the .bat file and OSBot should open.

 

Linux / Mac OS:

 

 

Run the following command in a terminal and OSBot should open.

find ~/ -name "OSBot*.jar" -print0 | xargs -0 ls -t | head -n 1 | xargs -I{} java -jar {}

 

3. If OSBot opens using the above commands, try running this software, it will attempt to fix your .jar file, allowing you to open it by double clicking.

I actually had this kind of issue, when I couldn't start OSBot at all. It turns out, I had Java 7 instead of 8.
