Hi all, I have just started with Metabase, and downloaded the JAR file; moved it into a new directory; and ran the installer as admin from the command line. Here's what I'm getting:
I'm not a super-technical person, so it maybe something that's obvious to people here! Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
Can you double check if you're running it using Java version 21 or newer?
Hi, I didn't have that installed, thank you, but I do now and I am still getting issues: Copy/pasted below.
Many thanks!

Run your terminal with admin rights
The way I run it is:
c:\Program Files\Metabase>java -jar metabase.jar
Try that.
It's still not working, but I get a different error than before:
