Java is installed, but the challenge won't accept the results of "java -version" from OSX

Java is successfully installed, however pasting in the results of:

java -version

is not passing the challenge.

Hey Ryan! I dont know much about this, but i think you have perhaps pasted the wrong code. Try to go to your command prompt and type "Java -version", Then copy the first line of code that appears. It should look something like this: java version "1.8.0_131". Hope this helps!

My machine is currently running Java 10. This was the issue. I just change the version by hand in the reply to get past the challenge.
