#15 kmttg won't run on Mac OS X 10.10: To use the “java” command-line tool you need to install a JDK.

[BobCat]

I get this error when running kmttg on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389):
To use the “java” command-line tool you need to install a JDK.

Here's what the terminal session says after running kmttg just before the Java message comes up:
/Applications/kmttg/kmttg ; exit;
No Java runtime present, requesting install.
logout
[Process completed]

Java verified installation Version 8 update 25

What do I need to do to get kmttg to run?

Looks like for some silly reason, JRE installs on Mac no longer put java in path, so you have to add java to your path manually. One way to do it is as indicated in this post:

Yes, that fixed it. But first I had to remove the old symlink...

Here's the old, original, none working symlink:
readlink /usr/bin/java
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java

Then I deleted the symlink:
sudo rm /usr/bin/java

Then, as directed, I created the new symlink to add java runtime to the path:
sudo ln -s "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java" /usr/bin/java

Now kmttg is running!
Thank you!

Interestingly, when I attempt to do this on a clean install of Mojave, I get the following:
