maltego tries incorrect Java version

[zebrascanfly]

Hello,
when I try to run maltego from the GUI menu nothing happens. when I invoke from terminal its give me more details, looks like its trying to load Java 11 but my current version is 17.
when I searched on Maltego how to specify Java version the instructions calls to run /usr/bin/maltego_memory_config which is not installed on my system.
if I run

$maltego -h

I can see a flag --jdkhome <path> but I'm unsure whats is the correct path to use.

Any ideas how to resolve?
Thank you

to answer my own question:

$ maltego --jdkhome /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/

then when Maltego opened went to Options and set Java Options drop down to /usr/lib/jvm/default-java save and restart from GUI.
