What should I do? How can I give it access to java?

is there a jre folder beside the executable?
I don't think, I'll attach a screenshot.
bruh the tutorial doesnt even mention any java lmao
Solution
probably just do

A mod manager for the game FasterThanLight.
What does it do?
install java
using brew
either its was included or they just forgot they already set it up
I copy-pasted the command into the terminal, it installed many dependencies and things I don't comprehend (but I assume it was successful because the last one was a cleanup tool), but running the modman.command yields the same error message.
try
command -v javaIt outputs
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/java, but pasting this into dolphin cancels the search. Navigating into the bin folder shows countless files, searching for java shows <attached screenshot>.
try cd-ing to the mod directory and manually run the modman
run
cd ~/your/folder and then run ./modman.command

Albeit I can't get through step 39, I'll mark the post as solved because it's beyond the scope of the post('s title).
btw this is probably worth reporting to their team so they can revise the instruction to include java installation
