ThinkorSwim won't install on my Linux

I cannot run or install thinkorswim. When I click the icon, it loads for a moment and then stops loading.

When I try to install I get the below error.

sudo sh ./thinkorswim_installer.sh
Starting Installer ...
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class java.awt.Container

Java appears up to date.

java -version
openjdk version "14.0.2" 2020-07-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 14.0.2+12)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0.2+12, mixed mode)

I had uninstalled it to see if that would fix the issue, but I had to pass the -c option (uninstall -c) to bypass the graphic interface.

Anyone know the magic sauce needed to get it to run?

I'm using Arch Linux. Kernel 5.7.8
 
I don't have any experience troubleshooting on a Linux machine, so I can't provide much support regarding this issue. Have you tried following the instructions on this page? I would also get in touch with TD Ameritrade's support team.
