netbeans Getting started with netbeans Installation: Microsoft Windows and Linux

Example

To install the software:

1. After the download completes, run the installer.

   • For Windows, the installer executable file has the .exe extension. Double-click the installer file to run it.

   • For Linux platforms, the installer file has the .sh extension. For these platforms, you need to make the installer files executable by using the following command: chmod +x . Type ./ to run the installer.

2. Perform the following steps at the Welcome page of the installation wizard:

   1. Click Customize. In the Customize Installation dialog box, make your selections.
   2. Click OK.
   3. At the Welcome page of the installation wizard, click Next.

3. At the License agreement page, review the license agreement, click the acceptance check box, and click Next.

   1. Accept the default installation directory for the NetBeans IDE or specify another directory.

   Note: The installation directory must be empty and the user profile you are using to run the installer must have read/write permissions for this directory.

   2. (Applicable only to All or Java EE bundle.) Accept the default JDK installation to use with the NetBeans IDE or select a different installation from the drop-down list. If the installation wizard did not find a compatible JDK installation to use with the NetBeans IDE, your JDK is not installed in the default location. In this case, specify the path to an installed JDK and click Next, or cancel the current installation. After installing the required JDK version you can restart the installation.

   Note: If the JDK version is older than the recommended JDK 7 Update 10, download and install the latest JDK update from Java SE Downloads page and restart the NetBeans IDE installer.

   • Verify that you have adequate space on your system for the installation. Click Install to begin the installation.
