FAQ

I'm located in Russia and SDKMAN always reports that the Internet is not available. Is the service down?

Unfortunately the Russian authorities have blocked all access to Digital Ocean, the cloud platform where our services are hosted. If you are having this issue and find yourself in Russia, we recommend that you use a VPN or proxy in order to use SDKMAN on your machine.

I'm not seeing version XXX of my favourite SDK on SDKMAN. What can I do?

Adding a new Version to an existing Candidate on SDKMAN is as simple as raising a pull request on our Database Migrations project. When the PR has been reviewed, approved and merged it will be run against our database making it available for all our users.

IntelliJ IDEA is not loading Java JDK when using SDKMAN on ArchLinux. What can I do?

There is a chance it might be conflicting with the built-in script archlinux-java that comes with your distribution of ArchLinux. Run archlinux-java unset then remove all versions of java from the default locations. Afterwards install the desired versions with SDKMAN and use the java versions installed at $HOME/.sdkman/candidates/.
