Installing Java on Windows

To install Java on a Windows system, follow these steps:

Step 1: Download Java Development Kit (JDK)

  1. Go to the Oracle JDK download page.
  2. Accept the license agreement.
  3. Download the appropriate JDK installer for your Windows system (e.g., Windows x64 Installer for 64-bit systems or Windows x86 Installer for 32-bit systems).

Step 2: Run the Installer

  1. Once the download is complete, double-click the downloaded installer file to run it.
  2. Follow the installation wizard instructions.
  3. Choose the installation directory and click "Next".
  4. Wait for the installation process to complete.

Step 3: Set Up Environment Variables (Optional)

  1. After installation, you may need to set up the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables:
    • Right-click on "This PC" or "My Computer" and select "Properties".
    • Click on "Advanced system settings".
    • In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.
    • Under System Variables, click "New" and add JAVA_HOME with the path to the JDK installation directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.12).
    • Find the Path variable in the list of System Variables, select it, and click "Edit".
    • Add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to the end of the existing Path (e.g., C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.12\bin).
    • Click "OK" to save the changes.

Step 4: Verify Installation

  1. Open Command Prompt (cmd.exe).
  2. Type java -version and press Enter.
  3. If Java is installed correctly, you should see the version information.

Installing Java on macOS

To install Java on a macOS system, follow these steps:

Step 1: Install Homebrew (Optional)

  1. If you don't already have Homebrew installed, open Terminal.
  2. Paste the following command and press Enter: 
    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Step 2: Install Java Development Kit (JDK)

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. Run the following command to install the AdoptOpenJDK package using Homebrew: 
    brew install --cask adoptopenjdk
    This command installs the AdoptOpenJDK distribution, which is one of the popular choices for Java development on macOS.

Step 3: Verify Installation

  1. After installation, open Terminal.
  2. Type java -version and press Enter.
  3. If Java is installed correctly, you should see the version information.

By following these steps, you can install Java on both Windows and macOS systems.
