I try both 1.1.6 and 1.1.3 but get a error:
Error: Could not find or load main class nxt.Nxt
The java is version 1.8.0_45
This can be a problem with these new versions of java? Which version are you running?
Are you using the sources or the zip file?, Linux or Windows?,
Maybe it's a problem of directory or files permission in Linux, as distribution file is zipped in Windows.
That Java version is not the problem.
I use the .zip files.
