You must make sure JAVA_HOME is set to a JRE/JDK that's >=11. Do a echo $JAVA_HOME on Linux/MacOS or echo %JAVA_HOME% on Windows to confirm.

MacOS example:

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-16.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home

Linux example:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-16-openjdk-amd64

Windows:

Type to search "advanced system", you should see "View Advanced System settings", click it, then click "Environment Variables..."

On Windows, if you get "no jvm dll found" error, you need to add %JAVA_HOME%/bin/server (i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.10\bin\server) to your path.

See examples for more example usages.
