So recently I bought Minecraft and decided to add some mods. so when I went to install Minecraft forge, it would not work. I try to install it but nothing happens. can someone please help me understand either what I'm doing wrong or what is going wrong with the installation.

Please provide your installer log, it will have the same name as the installer but with .log on the end:

Installer: forge-{version}-installer.jar

Log: forge-{version}-installer.jar.log

 

Note: If you have Windows Explorer set to hide file extensions(as is the default setting), they will look like this:

Installer: forge-{version}-installer

Log: forge-{version}-installer.jar

my apologies but I am not a very tech-savvy person so I have no idea what an installer log is or how to find it

It's a text file generated by the installer.

Same place your installer is. As DaemonUmbra described.

You downloaded the installer, right? That comes as a jar file. When you run it, it will produce the log file next to it.

well when you go to Minecraft forge I press the "installer" button for the 1.14.3 version. it saves to my downloads but after that I have tried to open it. it opens with internet explorer and asks me if I want to open it or save it. I have tried doing both but nothing really happens

Open your windows terminal and write java -version, can you send what it shows ?

Why did you not mention this in the first place? Your first post says it does "nothing", which is obviously not true...

Make sure you have Java installed, if you do, you can run Jarfix to fix the jar-file association.

hey, go here and install this. Once it's installed, go to your downloads folder and rerun the program, problem solved. 

 

Edit: I made an account for this ^-^

There is only one good way to know if java is well installed...

Go in your windows command prompt and type java -version

can you send me a screen of what you'll get ?

so I did not know what windows command prompt was either, so I looked it up and did what they said and typed java-version and I got the first picture, but then I realized I typed it in wrong and retyped it and got the 2nd picture

Ok now, the installer in .jar should have the java logo on it.

When you double click on it, it should open a white window, is it the case here ?

      Thank you for the answer and for the constructive instruction.  Officially, I started learning Java about three weeks ago.  I completed the SoloLearn program last week, and am 82% of the way done re-viewing it to confirm that what I learned did stick.  I'm reading the Oracle tutorials at their website and am up to Controlling Access to Members of a Class.  Completed the first seven Mr Crayfish modding tutorials, and devoured Jorrit Tyberghein's "Modding Tutorial 1.14: Episode 1 (IDEA setup, basic mod and first block)" after being excoriated by Daemon Umbra for asking questions about 1.7.10. I've jumped in and started with the Minecraft mods as the review code because I can't learn in a vacuum.  I set up the Procyon decompiler and have been reviewing my son's favorite mods and attempting to recompile them for 1.14.4 (per D.U.), which is why my questions are oriented as they are; its the jump from 1.12.2 to 1.14.4 (which would be JDK 7 to JDK 8, I gather). I suspect that Daemon Umbra has lots of experience in coding but very little in human interaction and forgets that his position isn't aiding experts but is aiding newcomers. I thank you again for your instruction and for your good-natured demeanor. Respectfully, JMAS
