How can I solve logstash error during installation time?

Question

I am using JDK 15 and trying to install logstash. But when I use the command with configuration file I am getting this error -

"Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit."

I have added an image of the error below. Please help me to solve the error.

Logstash does not support Java 15 yet, there is an open issue about it, but you won't be able to use Java 15 to run logstash until support is available.

You will need to use another Java version, currently logstash supports Java 8, Java 11 or Java 14.

You can also unset the JAVA_HOME environment variable and logstash will use its bundled java, which is AdoptOpenJDK 11.
