Installing Java JDK

less than 1 minute read

In this class, we will be using several programs written in Java. If you already have the Java JDK installed, no need to follow these instructions. If you do need to install the Java JDK on your local machine, I recommend OpenJDK which is fully open source. To download it, follow these instructions:

  1. Go to https://adoptopenjdk.net/ and select OpenJDK 11 (LTS) and HotSpot as the JVM.
  2. Click the Download Latest Release button, which should save an installer file to your hard drive.
  3. Navigate to the installer file, execute it, and follow the instructions to install the Java JDK on your local machine. I recommend keeping all the default settings in the installer.
