I downloaded minecraft like and hour ago, when you're gonna play it says that you've encountered a bug and to report it even if you click try again and its really sad because I just got the game that I paid for, for it not to work?

The same thing just happened to me after downloading to my MAC desktop.

What do I do to correct it? Im new to this and am not sure how to look for other messages and see the answers.
