I was following the installation manual for presto.
But when I lanched the presto server from the command line I got this error:
$ bin/launcher run
Unrecognized VM option 'ExitOnOutOfMemoryError'
Did you mean 'OnOutOfMemoryError=<value>'?
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Per @kavehmb's answer on another question, as of June 2019 the way to work around this issue is:
brew tap adoptopenjdk/openjdk
brew cask install adoptopenjdk8
I suspected the java version was wrong and checked it. I had Java 1.8.0_65-b17.
The documentation for the installation did not mention anything about needed java version. It was hard to find out the needed Java version for the newest Presto version (v0.208)
I updated to the currently newest Java8 version using brew (on Mac).
brew cask install java8
After successful upgrading of Java I had version 1.8.0_181-b13.
Then prestodb could start.
