Hi, can anyone help me in making app inventor. I've been trying to make it for 2 months I can't get it in my ubuntu because installing java does not work and I've not tried in windows yet, should I try? I was doing with this tutorial but it is not detailed

you need a whole team in that some need to know java, html, css, php etc.
I dont think so @Aarush_Kumar you can develop it with open source by yourself but i have some problems that's it
i thought you dont need to make a copy of app inventor
Could you clarify what you mean by not being able to install Java on Ubuntu? It should be sufficient to sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk (package name just off the top of my head. run apt-cache search jdk for all options).

App Inventor only builds with Java 8. It includes components that do not support newer versions of Java. You should install the Java 8 JDK and set your JAVA_HOME accordingly when building and running the App Inventor sources.

I think your system is defaulting to using Java 11. You can change your system default by running sudo update-alternatives --config java.
