The “failed to create jvm” error code typically happens when the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) cannot be created. This can be due to a number of reasons, such as incorrect JVM settings, incompatible JVM versions, or corrupt JVM files. In some cases, it may also be due to a hardware or software issue.

If the answers above didn’t work then you should also try:

  1. Try using a different JVM.

Contents:

1. Check if the required dependencies for the JVM are installed

To check if the required dependencies for the JVM are installed, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Java SE Downloads page and download the Java SE Development Kit (JDK).
  2. Unzip the JDK file to a location on your computer.
  3. Open a command prompt window and navigate to the unzipped JDK directory.

  4. Type the following command and press Enter:
    java -version
    If the required dependencies for the JVM are not installed, the Java -version command will return an error message.

  5. If the required dependencies for the JVM are not installed, you will need to install them. To install the required dependencies, follow these steps:
    a. Open a command prompt window and navigate to the JDK directory.
    b. Type the following command and press Enter:
    sudo apt-get install build-essential libc6-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxpm-dev libxxf86vm-dev
    c. Type the following command and press Enter:
    sudo apt-get install jdk-8u172-linux-x64
    d. Type the following command and press Enter:
    sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre

2. Check if the JVM is configured correctly

-In order to check if the JVM is configured correctly, open a command prompt and change to the directory where the Java executable is located.
-Type the following command and press Enter: java -version
-If the JVM is not configured correctly, the Java version displayed will be different from the version that is installed on the computer.
-To fix the JVM, type the following command and press Enter: java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar myjar.jar

3. Try reinstalling the JVM

  1. Open a command prompt and type “javac -version” to get the version of the Java VM.
  2. If the Java VM is up to date, use the “javac” command to reinstall it.
  3. If the Java VM is not up to date, use the “javac -version 2” command to update it.
  4. Use the “javac -help” command to get a list of available options.
  5. Use the “javac -jar” command to create a new Java VM program file.
  6. Use the “java” command to run the new Java VM program file.
