I have downloaded Mauve for Linux but when I try to launch it following the instructions ("Simply run ./Mauve") I get error:

./Mauve.jar: line 2: $'\b\0210MF': command not found
./Mauve.jar: line 46: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
./Mauve.jar: line 46:<...GIBBERISH...>
$ java -jar Mauve.jar

How can I run Mauve (GUI) on Linux? I can use progressiveMauve on the terminal. How can I even open a java executable?
Thank you
Try
java -jar Mauve.jar
instead of./Mauve.jar
.Mauve also may require Java 7/8.
I tried
java -jar Mauve.jar
but same error. My Java is:You likely need a much older version of Java. 7 or 8.
Also, since Mauve is no longer maintained, what is a contemporary alternative? Tx
I see, so Mauve GUI is a legacy software that needs an old version of Java no longer maintained. Tx
