Quick start problem

[2002brian]

After installation, when entering [quarkdown create my-document] in terminal. it has been still running for 30 mins. How to slove this issue ? Thanks

@2002brian that's weird. Can you share:

• your OS
• output of quarkdown --version
• output of java -version

OS : 15.5
quarkdown --version no output results
java -version "java version "1.8.0_451"

[iamgio]

@2002brian please use Java 17+

I ran into the same issue:

OS

macOS Tahoe 26.2

quardown --version

Runs for more than 30 minutes without issuing any output.

java -version

openjdk version "25.0.1" 2025-10-21 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-25.0.1+8 (build 25.0.1+8-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-25.0.1+8 (build 25.0.1+8-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

Thanks!
