How do I upgrade my java version?

What you could do is the following:

In your existing project, create a new file named ".replit"
Add the following in .replit:

The first line dictates the language you want to use. The second is a series of terminal commands you want done for you. The second line I have compiles all java files, then runs Main.java. You can change this as you please.
Don't want to use Java 8? Change "java8" to "java10" or "java11".

Hope this helps!

Still doesnt work:

Look at the bottom of the console

That's really odd. I'm going to look into this.

I tried playing around with the command line. Turns out you can't use that either, or else you get a "permission denied" message.

I know most users were moved to Java 11, but I see a few projects here on Repl.it still stuck on 1.8, so you might need to contact a mod to figure out what's up.

Alternatively, you could try forking this Java 11 repl, then copying and pasting your files into it: https://repl.it/@AbirHaque/Test#Main.java. Not exactly the most conventional way, and I really don't know if that would work, but please let me know if it does.

PS: I tried out your project on my end and it works great, so I'm now really curious about how to fix this issue.

How to install java 16?

You can suggest upgrading a language here

, he isn't asking to upgrade a language. He wants to change the version. It is not a language request. Explanation

well it still fits in language requests/feedback.

You can't. repl.it only has one version of java. you could always download a java compiler

edit: ok nvm don't listen to me

, no, you see, repl has 2 versions of java for some reason.

See:

and:

To use my replit db manager for java, he needs to have java 11 which is the ubuntu version. His is the Java 8 version, mine is build 11.

ah, I see

, please don't call it a cycle special

I agree with this notion

, just say at the bottom of the post, something like

I also made this for my 100 cycle special. enjoy!

yeah no one really cares about cycles anymore lol

, i suggest asking a mod.

Ok thanks :)

Actually, how do i ask a mod? lol

, try discord, if u do not have discord, i guess you can ping them maybe?...

I pinged

, try someone else. He is inactive now

Being a mod doesn't mean that we know everything. Vice versa for not being a mod. I'm sure you can just go into the packager files.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the help everyone!

Would you like to help me with my project? It would be nice to have some extra help with the database..

, Thats Great! Im glad it was fixed up for you ;). About helping though... I am willing to help but I got a bunch of HW and online class. I guess you can invite me to the repl and when I have time I could check it out but I do not think I would be able to work for very long periods..

That's fine, thanks... Any help is appreciated!

, go ahead and invite me, i could check it out now.
