All right, so like we talked about,
there are multiple JDKs available.
0:00
We're going to install
the official one from Oracle.
0:05
Now, one thing we should talk about here,
it is more than likely that this
0:08
installation flow is going
to change over time.
0:12
Therefore, what I'm going to
demo here will most likely be
0:15
out of date by the time
you're viewing this video.
0:18
So, please don't be alarmed
if things look different.
0:20
I'm going to do my best to keep things
updated in the teacher's notes.
0:24
And if you find things confusingly
different, please take it to the forum and
0:27
we'll all get things sorted out.
0:31
Okay, so in your favorite search engine,
go ahead and search for Java JDK.
0:34
Great, and there's the first hit here, and
0:38
it's Java SE development kit
8 is what we are looking for.
0:41
Click that.
0:45
Page has a bunch of information on it.
0:47
It's a little strange, but
if you come down here a bit,
0:49
you'll see the development kit and
the current version is 8u45.
0:52
Remember, it's probably gonna be different
by the time you're watching this.
0:56
So the way that this works, you have to
choose this Accept License Agreement.
0:59
So I'm gonna do that right now, and
1:04
then I'm gonna choose I am
running on a Mac currently.
1:05
So you can see here,
you can choose the different types.
1:09
I'm gonna go ahead and
click the Mac version.
1:11
I'm gonna start that download.
1:13
And while that's downloading,
I'm gonna come over here and read what
1:14
we just agreed to, so this Oracle binary
code license agreement for Java SE.
1:18
Okay, so it says, Oracle America
Incorporated for on and all we have.
1:24
No, I'm just kidding.
1:28
Wouldn't that be horrible if
I sat here and read that?
1:29
But, seriously you should read this all.
1:31
It's pretty short.
1:33
It's not that bad.
1:34
One thing that we can we could talk
about here while this is downloading,
1:35
is the fact that there are two different
types of Windows here that are available
1:38
for Microsoft Windows.
1:42
So if you don't know if you're running
the 64 bit or not, go ahead and
1:43
check in the teacher's notes, and
1:46
I have helped you be able to figure
out which version you're running.
1:47
That is, of course,
if you're running Windows.
1:51
Okay, I'll pop right back when
this is done downloading.
1:53
Okay, so that download finished, and
I went and followed the instructions in
1:56
the teacher's notes of this video,
and made sure that I installed things.
1:59
So things have been installed correctly.
2:04
I'm gonna make sure that they
have been installed, and
2:06
I'm gonna do that by
opening up a terminal.
2:09
Mac's and Windows have different
ways of getting to the terminals.
2:12
And since I'm on a Mac,
I'm gonna press Cmd+Space and
2:14
I'm gonna type the word Terminal.
2:17
I'm gonna press Enter, and
that's gonna open up a terminal.
2:18
Great.
2:25
If I was on Windows, I would press Windows
key R, and then I'd type powershell, and
2:26
it would open up a new
terminal over there.
2:31
So since Java's now
been added to our path,
2:34
I should be able to type java -version.
2:37
And it will return back
the version that I just installed.
2:41
And again, remember your version
number here might look different.
2:45
If you don't get this,
try re-opening up a terminal again,
2:49
and if that doesn't work, there's most
likely something wrong with your path.
2:52
Check out the teacher's notes for help.
2:56
Congrats, we now have Java installed.
2:58
Now in order to pass the next exercise,
which wraps up this portion of the course,
3:02
simply copy these results and
paste them into the challenge.
3:06
Here, I'm gonna copy it and show you,
and then I'll see you in the next video.
3:10
So I'm gonna highlight.
3:13
I'm gonna right-click,
and then choose Copy.
3:16
And I'm gonna paste
that into the exercise.
3:19
So see you in a bit.
