So, I'm new to 2009scape. I want to play, so I saw I need:
https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=11
jdk-11.0.19+7 installed as a .pkg file, but since I already have Oracle's java 8 installed I googled how to switch it via terminal.
% export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 11.0.19`
is the command, so now when I do
java -version
I see:
openjdk version "11.0.19" 2023-04-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-11.0.19+7 (build 11.0.19+7)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-11.0.19+7 (build 11.0.19+7, mixed mode)
so now I renamed the '2009scape-launcher-osx-sc' launcher to 2009scape-launcher-osx-sc.jar since .jar is a java file.
And the game won't open... what am I doing wrong?

it's not a java file. There wouldn't be an explicitly OSX build if it was java. You need to chmod +x it and execute it as a binary executable because that's what it is

I suppose that is why it won't run. I didn't see detailed instructions of that, do you know how I can do that @Ceikry?

chmod +x it and then you can run it as an executable. It doesn't really need detailed instructions.
Those are the instructions

1. open terminal
2. navigate to where you downloaded the file
3. sudo chmod +x filename
4. input password
5. profit
