I am used to using Windows and being able to just install .jar files. I tried installing forge by following the instructions in a video I found and I typed java -jar forge-1.19.2-43.2.0-installer.jar into terminal, but I got this error message:

It's probable that you installed the headless version of java. You need the standard version used by desktop applications.

sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk

That will install the missing file /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/lib/libawt_xawt.so (among other things) and you should be good.

I did what you said and it opens the forge installer but in terminal it says failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" and in the installer it says there is no minecraft directory set up and won't let me install.

`sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module` - do you already have minecraft installed on this box? Is it a remote server, or a local desktop?

Ok, I just downloaded forge, and ran the command. You can ignore the canberra message. Do you not get a graphical window popup titled "Mod system installer"? It's looking for a hidden folder in your home directory called `.minecraft` so does `~/.minecraft` (`~` is a shortcut for your home) exist? It should if you've played minecraft on that PC under that account.

I downloaded `forge-1.19.2-43.2.6-installer.jar` (the latest release)

Was this ever solved? I have yet to find a solution to this problem. Seems like forge is unable to be installed on 1.20.1-47 version of Minecraft. I do get the gui popup, I do force it to the correct folder, and I do have java installed, but it doesn't follow through and install everything that I need.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
