To resolve these issues, you can use the following instructions.

You can also refer to the following support articles to learn more about using Provar with Apache Ant:

Configure Java

Step 1: Download Java Development Kit (JDK) for macOS Catalina and install it on your machine using the prompted instructions.

Step 2: Navigate to the user home location of the computer where Provar is installed.

Step 3: Find the .bash_profile. The .bash_profile may be hidden. If so, use command+shift+. to make hidden files visible.
