Hello, i´ve got a problem when it comes to running javascript in my PC.

I have downloaded the software from the java site and also have the files installed but whenever i try to run javascript the screen just gets black and it closes. I am just getting started, learned some of the basics with an app named grasshopper for android but i want to test what i have learned by using the software in my pc.

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: Thanks for all the replies, the patience, the information and the guidance.

You know?, i started to use that grasshopper app but after reading your comments i am a little bit, shaken?, maybe dissapointed in myself, by one hand i just realized that coding is not something simple, in two days i spent around 3-4 hours studying basic programming stuff with that app and start to felt confident, today i learned that i was very stupid.

But, i dont call me stupid out of self-pity, i am ignorant for thinking that it was easy, part of me wants to drop it but, thanks to some of you guys i feel that i am not as lost asi was in the beggining.

I feel stupid but i learned something, java is not javascript...probably what i have been reading on grasshopper have to do a little bit with javascript but it wont teach me nothing but the most basic stuff. The guide https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp seems to be better for a start so i will go with it.

I will try to invest a month or two and see if i start making a progress. If you dont ever read something from me again that means i just gave up. Thanks for the patience and the guidance.

And the kindness, for most of you probably i am just an ignorant idiot which asked something that doesnt make any sense...like huuh going to home depot and ask the clerk where the hell i can get a pizza. I feel that stupid, but like i said, thanks to you i learned something and can get started knowing that programming in javascript is not as easy as grasshopper give you the misguided impression of it. I will read the guide and try it for a couple of months, if programming is not my thing...well at least i tried it.

Hi all,

Not sure if this question is appropriate but unsure were to ask.

Basically I've been working through the Khan academy lessons on Java Script. How do I get a copy of the program so I can get started making my own programs? Is there a specific website or version I need?

Working on a mac if it makes any difference.

Thanks
