Hello,

I’m new to BaseX. I’m on a Mac with an Apple M1 chip, running macOS 12.6.3. I 
downloaded the ZIP distribution of BaseX. When I open BaseX.jar I get an error 
message saying to check the console. When I run basexgui at the command line, I 
get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: 
org/basex/BaseXGUI has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java 
Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only 
recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

I updated Java to the latest version, according to the download page at 
java.com and according to the Update tab in the Java control panel in System 
Preferences. Running java -version returns this:

java version "1.8.0_361"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_361-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.361-b09, mixed mode)

However, I am still getting the same error when running basexgui. Is there a 
trick or workaround for this?

Thanks,
Greg
