Best Answer

As Java is not packaged with OS X 10.8, you will need to download it. First, click the magnifying glass icon on the menu bar, located at the upper right hand corner of the screen. From there, type in "Terminal." Then, select "Terminal" from the options provided. Once Terminal is open, simply type in Java. If Java is not installed, it will ask if you'd like to have it installed. Agree, and Software Update will locate, download and install Java for you. After it finishes, you should be all set.
