netbeans Getting started with netbeans Installation: Platform-Independent Package
Example
To run the software:
- After the download of the platform-independent ZIP file completes, extract it to any folder on your system.
- Run the executable file located in the netbeans/bin directory.
- Accept the License Agreement.
- Click Next. The NetBeans IDE installation starts.
Note: If a compatible JDK installation cannot be found, you might need to manually add a path to the JDK installation directory by doing the following:
- Open the netbeans.conf file located in the netbeans/etc directory in a text editor.
- Enter the location of a compatible JDK installation for the netbeans_jdkhome option. The default location in Windows is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_67 or similar.
- Save the netbeans.conf file and run the executable file in the netbeans/bin directory.
Note: The GlassFish Server Open Source Edition and Apache Tomcat are available only with platform-specific installers.
Note: To use the GlassFish Server Open Source Edition and/or Apache Tomcat that are already installed on your machine, in the NetBeans IDE, click Servers on the Tools menu. This displays the Add Server Instance Wizard which helps to register an instance of the required web server with the NetBeans IDE.
