JAVA_HOME is an environment variable that points to the directory where the Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed. It's crucial for Runelite to find and use the correct Java installation. Without it correctly configured, Runelite won't be able to execute its Java code. You can set JAVA_HOME in your macOS system preferences or by adding it to your shell's configuration file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc).
