I use (and sometimes write) Java apps for servers, but that is a bit different. Of course, I don't use Java apps on the desktop. Java applications used to come bundled with runtimes, but I haven't seen that in almost 20 years. Technically speaking, Apple's old version of Java is a stripped-down, hacked-up version. It is a complete version of Java, albeit with some funky directory paths. To get around Apple's ever-changing OS and System Integrity Protection in El Capitan, Oracle's Java looks like it is just for web stuff, but it isn't.

Pros: This version of Java is required when you want to double-click on a pre-packaged Java application like the the "ATLauncher.app" that you downloaded.Ĭons: This is an ancient version of Java first released in 2006. Option 1) Follow the prompts and download Legacy Java 6 ( Java for OS X 2015-001). You have basically two options, both with pros and cons.
#ATLAUNCHER JAVA 64 BIT INSTALL#
If all you want to do is run this specific "ATLauncher.app", then double-click the app, follow the prompts and install the Legacy Java 6. You must download and install a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). First I'll start with your original question and then I'll clear up some misinformation. If you need to find out how much RAM your computer has you can follow the guides on this page for Windows or Mac.Sorry for the confusion.
