Then it was brought to my attention I need Java 1.8.

Java 10.6 Mac Os X 10

But I cant find any java 1.8 that works with MAC OS X 10.6.8 Does anyone know where I can find java 1.8 for mac os x 10.6.8 Thx.

Java 10.6 Mac OS X Versions 10

Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) and above: Java is not pre-installed with Mac OS X versions 10.7 and above.

To get the latest Java from Oracle, you will need Mac OS X 10.7.3 and above.

If you have Java 7 or later versions, you will see a Java icon under System Preferences.

Java versions 6 and below are listed in the Java Preferences.app located in the Applications Utilities folder on your Mac.

I do not have Mac version 10.7.3 (Lion) or higher.

How do I get Java for other Mac versions For Java versions 6 and below, Apple supplies their own version of Java.

Users of Lion Mac OS X 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 should upgrade to 10.7.3 or later versions, so you can get the latest Java version from Oracle.

Apple has no plans to make those API available on older versions of the Mac OS.

I read that there was a way to modify the Java 7 package to allow it to install on Snow Leopard though, so you may want to look at that.

The following page has more information about it, though you are welcome to do your own research or look for a tutorial on YouTube if youd like.
