Sorry, I do  not understand at all what you mean by “it just says type to end”.

The manual to follow is
https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/installation/win_binary.html
The setup wizard is referring to Windows installer that we do not have at the
moment for the recent versions. If you want to try the installer then the
latest available is this
https://sourceforge.net/projects/geoserver/files/GeoServer/2.14.3/geoserver-2.14.3.exe/download
Documentation for the Windows installer is at
https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/installation/win_installer.html.
Notice that Windows installer requires 32 bit version of java on your computer.

If you continue with the bin-zip way
https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/installation/win_binary.html double
clicking on the startup.bat works for most users. The batch file is doing its
best for finding java from the computer without user interaction. In your case
it did not succeed but “Setting environmental variables” in the documentation
gives detailed instruction for setting JAVA_HOME environmental variable. You
probably use Windows 10 but environmental variables are still set in the same
way. See for example
https://www.hows.tech/2019/03/how-to-set-environment-variables-in-windows-10.html
for screen captures. I also learned you another way for setting JAVA_HOME in
the startup.bat file. I am not sure if it was a success or not for you.

Continue to follow the manual
https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/installation/win_binary.html which
does not mention start.jar at all. That is intentional because start.jar is not
for you. Start.jar is starting just the Jetty server. You must use startup.bat
as documented and it will start both Jetty and Geoserver for you.

If your java_home is now correctly set then double clicking startup.bat should
open a black console window and print quite a lot of text on screen. When a
line like “2020-01-23 09:28:08.779:INFO:oejs.Server:main: Started @19627ms”
appears on the screen the Geoserver is running and you can access the user
interface with a browser from http://localhost:8080/geoserver. If not, I can’t
guess what goes wrong but you may get some information from the console window.
One thing to try is not to follow the advice that is given in the manual
“Note A suggested location would be C:\Program Files\GeoServer”

I would rather suggest to use any other location than Program Files, like
c:\my_programs\geoserver.

So I introduced the code and it finally ran but it doesn't conclude on
something, it just says type to end. but I'm following the GeoServer User
Manual, Release 2.16.1 and it doesn't appear the GeoServer Setup Wizard, the
start.jar file still doesn't work. Thanks again for the support but it is kind
of complicated.

Please answer to the list as well, not just to me.

Open the startup.bat file with a text editor. Add
SET JAVA_HOME=”path_to_your_java”
Instead of “path_to_your_java” you must naturally write the path where your
java is installed. Remember to save the file.
Good luck!

Yes, I'm working on Windows, but were do I paste that? on CMD? Because I tried
pasting it on CMD console and nothing happens, and after I tried the
startup.bat and said Unsuccessful

If the startup script does not find Java automatically it might be easiest to
open the file and edit it a bit. If you are on Windows do it here:

@echo off
rem
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
rem Startup Script for GeoServer
rem
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

cls
echo Welcome to GeoServer!
echo.
set error=0
SET JAVA_HOME=”path_to_your_java”
…

On Linux the syntax is (I hope)

export JAVA_HOME=path_to_your_java

Of course you must have Java on your machine.

Thanks for answering back. I found it but it says unsuccessful. Can you explain
please what is the environment variable? How is the way to set the Java Home
and how does it work? Thanks for the help.

Hi,

If you have used the bin-zip installation I suppose that you mean the
“start.jar” that is in the main directory. Go to /bin directory instead and run
startup.bat if you are on Windows or startup.sh if you are on Linux.

Hi, my name is Richard Hodge, I'm a mechanical engineer student and I'm
currently trying to install the geoserver program but I'm having some trouble
with the "start" java exe that doesn't work and also I do not understand the
"enviromental variable". Hope I can get help from you.

Thanks!
