In this section, you will be provided with the steps to follow to install the program and the necessary programs in the different Operating Systems.
About the development environments, we can go to their download links, and install the one we want:
- Visual Studio Code: download here
- Apache NetBeans 8: download here
- Apache NetBeans 12.5: download here
- JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3.2: download here
We will proceed to download and install Java JDK and JRE from the following link. In the wizard, we will click on install, leave everything by default and continue until we finish with the installation. Let's check with java -version:
java version "1.8.0_202"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_202-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.202-b08, mixed mode)
Also, with Maven, we will go to the following link, we will download in .zip format, unzip in our personal folder or in C:\, and add to the PATH environment variables the following:
C:\apache-maven-3.8.3\bin ,and we created a system variable named MAVEN HOME with value C:\apache-maven-3.8.3.
Let's check that everything has worked correctly by opening a CMD, and using the command mvn -v, it returns some lines like the following example:
Apache Maven 3.8.3 (ff8e977a158738155dc465c6a97ffaf31982d739)
Maven home: C:\apache-maven-3.8.3
Java version: 11.0.13, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.13
Default locale: es_ES, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 10", version: "10.0", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"
We will proceed to download and install Java JDK and JRE in .dmg format from the following link.
In the wizard, we will double click on the package icon, click next, leave everything by default and continue until we finish with the installation.
Let's check with java -version in a Terminal.
Also, with Maven, we will go to the following link, we will download it in .zip format, unzip it in the Downloads folder and fix its permissions with the following command: chown -R root:username Downloads/apache-maven*.
Move the unzipped folder with superuser permissions to /opt. Open in a new Terminal with nano the file .profile, and add the following line: export PATH=$PATH:/opt/apache-maven/bin. Save, close, and enter the bash command, to reload the configurations made.
We check that everything worked correctly using the mvn -v command.
We will proceed to update the repositories, and we will install the Java OpenJDK in its version 8. If we want to use another version, just change the word XX to the number of the desired version:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt install openjdk-XX-jdk
To check the installation, in the same Terminal, we will enter the following command, which will return the installed Java version: $ java -version.
For Maven installation, we can use the following commands in a Terminal, the first to update our repository list and the second to proceed to install the latest available version of this open source software.
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install maven
And check that it has been installed correctly with the $ mvn -version command.
