    CloverDX Designer requires a Java Development Kit (JDK). Running with just JRE is not supported.

    Windows and macOS installers include all the needed dependencies. When installing the Designer on a Linux OS, Eclipse Temurin JDK 17 needs to be downloaded separately, and the JAVA_HOME path set to point to it.
