I am running macOS (new mac with M1 chip) and followed the prerequisite instructions here: [macOS Installation | Stardog Documentation Latest](https://docs.stardog.com/get-started/install-stardog/macOS-installation)

Then running `java -version`:

```auto
openjdk version "11.0.16.1" 2022-08-12
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Homebrew (build 11.0.16.1+0)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Homebrew (build 11.0.16.1+0, mixed mode)

```

When I attempt to start the server (`stardog-admin server start`), I get the following error:

```auto

This is only an issue for starting a local server. I can run commands for remote servers no problem.
