Thank you for the amazing and simple video!!
At first I was facing a problem that it wouldn't run, I'd double click and nothing so when I changed the 'Open with' to -> 'Java(TM) Platform SE Binary' instead of 'OpenJDK Platform binary' it would open normally, just in case anyone was facing the same issues I was!
