Java Local Development Environments How it Works Installation

I cannot install!

I am unable to install the latest version of JDK.

Process of me trying to download:

  1. Go the the Oracle JDK Website
  2. Accept the License Agreement
  3. Go to the Mac OS X (Im running Mac OS X, not coping what Craig is doing, BTW)
  4. Click the download link
  5. Wait......

PROBLEM:

  1. Takes me to a website, where to download the JDK, I have to install Minecraft! (No, I am joking,). I have to create an Oracle account! Which in my position, I cannot! (Take a moment, and think why).

Please help!

Is this what you are trying to install? No account needed to download - just accept the licensing agreement.

Why can't you create an account? The reason is not apparent as we know nothing about you or your circumstances.

What goes up but never comes back down?

So you are under 13 I assume, can you speak to a parent about installing it so you can carry on your learning?
