Errors related to TFT libraries

I'm trying to use the TFT-master library I downloaded from Github, however my sketch is choosing the default TFT library built in IDE.

Also, I downloaded this new TFT-master library because I got a Java error in the default TFT library about Adafruit_GFX.h not found.

I had a prior Java error about SD library not installed and so I went into the terminal and deleted the Adafruit_GFX.h file. I removed library too because I'm not using currently. Any help here?

Q1: How do I replace my TFT library with one from GitHub? Q2: How do I get rid of java error about Adafruit_GFX.h?

Rename /Users/evanjohnson/Documents/Arduino/libraries/TFT-master to /Users/evanjohnson/Documents/Arduino/libraries/TFT. When there are multiple libraries that contain the filename you are including the Arduino IDE will give include priority to the library where the folder name matches the filename.

It's not a Java error. You're compiling C++ code. The only Java involved is the Arduino IDE is written in Java. For one thing, you never should have deleted Adafruit_GFX.h, I don't know why you thought that was a good idea. However, as long as you haven't also deleted the file in the /Users/evanjohnson/Documents/Arduino/libraries/TFT library doing what I recommended above will solve the problem.
