Why Can't I run my Minecraft Vanilla Server? (I'm On a Mac BTW)?

So I downloaded the server file from mine craft.net and put the file in a folder named Minecraft Server and tried to run it but it just opened and for 1 second and then closed why is this happening and how can I get it to run?

Update windows, make sure your drivers are all up to date. Minecraft is not too intensive but check yer direct X is up to date, again everything is up to date(delete old ones if you can).
