Yes I did. I did the xcode-select thing. Then I did the javac thing. That
caused a window to open. If I hit OK then nothing further happens. The second
button for more info leads to a web page where I was able to download the JRE.
There didn’t seem to be an option for JDK (at least not obviously). JRE seemed
to be what I wanted based on everything I saw before the email stream. I’ll go
see if I can find the JDK based on the subsequent responses with links.
