Running A Java Application

If you want to start a Java application, under Windows you can double-click it. If Windows says it doesn't recognize the type of file, you will need to download and install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE):

  1. In the related links below, go to the "Java SE (Standard Edition) Downloads" page.
  2. Look for "Java Platform, Standard Edition".
  3. Under that is "JRE" and a "Download" button beneath that.
  4. Click the JRE "Download" button open the page to choose the version you want.
  1. For Windows, choose either the i586 (for 32-bit Windows) or x64 (for 64-bit Windows) file ending with ".exe";
  2. For MacOS, select the ".dmg" file;
  3. If you're running Linux, you might be better off to check the instructions for your specific distribution since it might not recognize ".rpm" files.

Once you've downloaded the installer, run it to install the Java Runtime Environment.

Writing Java Applications

If you want to start writing Java programs, you will need to install the Java Development Kit (JDK). You can find it at the same related link under JDK "Download". It's good to have some basic programming skills or a high degree of motivation first since Java can seem daunting at first. Select the version of the JDK you want as per the instructions for downloading the JRE. Then install it.

Although you can write Java programs in a text file and compile them from the command line, it's a good idea to have an IDE (Integrated Development ditor) handy since it contains debugging and other tools to make the development process simpler. See the Netbeans related link for a popular Java IDE.

Sites with example code and tutorials are also supplied in the related links. Good luck!
