So like the title state, forge and optifine installers arent opening when i download them. what will happen, once the .rar file downloads i open it and instead of the installer opening and i install forge or optifine like normal, it opens like the containing folder. it has all the .txt and .png files in it. It happens for both intallers. Ive recentl changed hard drives for my laptop and took it to the apple store and had them upload the latest version of OSX onto it. so i had to reinstall minecraft and everything. Everything else on my computer seems to be working fine its just this. Im trying to install forge 1.11.2. I can play the game just fine. i just cant open the installer to download forge or optifine.
Can i run the installer somehow from the containing folder? Should i change it to a different file type?
Please Help!!! I love playing with mods and i wish i could now but this issue is becoming a real pain in the ass.
Thanks!!

try right clicking it and choose open with and use Java Platform SE Binary (AKA Java)
It doesnt give me an option to run it with Java. i right click it then clip "Open With" and i tried finding Java but its not there
Install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

Curse PremiumOpen the Mac Terminal. (Spotlight search for Terminal or navigate to /Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
In the terminal, type
Go to the Finder, and drag the installer JAR into the terminal window (make sure there is a space between "-jar" and the path to the file)
Press enter, and the installer should open. Use it normally and ignore all the flashing text in the terminal (unless there's an error)
Repeat for all installers
Hope this helps
