Hi @Navid,

This error means that MATLAB R2026a cannot find a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your Mac. Some MATLAB features, like the Add-On Explorer, need Java to work. On Mac computers, MATLAB sometimes cannot find or use its built-in Java, or Java might not be installed or set up right.

Check if Java is installed using "java -version" in terminal. If you don’t have Java, or if it is not the right version, go to the Versions of OpenJDK Compatible with MATLAB by Release page to see which version you need. Download and install the recommended version, making sure to follow all the steps.
