If you want to open a JAR file, you need to install java runtime. It may already be installed on your computer, but I recommend downloading and updating Java again. Below you will find out why this is so important.
Then you should download a lightweight utility called Jarx. It causes JAR files to behave like normal programs on your computer. Thus, after installing Jarx, you can open a JAR file, like any other file, by double clicking on it.
You can also run it from the command line. Click on [b]Search[/b] and enter [b]cmd[/b] . Right-click and select Run as Administrator. Then enter the following command, but replace filename.jar with the full path to your JAR file:

Code:

java -jar имя_файла.jar
