You might see the error message `Error: Could not find or load main class org.jabref.JabRefMain`. This means, you do not have [JavaFX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaFX) support activated in your Java runtime environment. This typically happens if you use [OpenJDK](http://openjdk.java.net/), where one needs to setup [OpenJFX](https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Main) separately.
