Getting Started

To begin working with this project, you need to have Java installed on your computer, preferably JDK 8 or later. Alternatively, you can use the NetBeans IDE version 8.2. Follow the instructions below based on your operating system.

Installing Java

Ensure you have Java installed on your machine. You can download the Java Development Kit (JDK) from the official Oracle website or use a package manager for your operating system.

• For Windows:

  • Download the JDK from the official Oracle website or use the provided NetBeans bundle.
  • If you choose to install the JDK separately, download it from Oracle JDK Downloads.
  • Follow the installation wizard instructions.

• For Linux:

  • Use your distribution's package manager to install Java. For example:
    • For Debian/Ubuntu:

      sudo apt-get install default-jdk

    • For Arch Linux:

      sudo pacman -S jdk-openjdk

    • For Red Hat/Fedora:

      sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

  • Alternatively, you can download the JDK from Oracle JDK Downloads.

Installing NetBeans

If you prefer using the NetBeans IDE, you can download it from the provided link below:

• Download NetBeans IDE 8.2 from here.

For Windows:

• If you are running on an AMD or INTEL x86 computer, install jdk-8u111-nb-8_2-windows-x64.exe.
• Run the installation wizard and follow the instructions.

For Linux:

• Download NetBeans using your respective distribution package manager. For example, use APT, PACMAN, YUM, or ZYPPER.

  # Example for Debian/Ubuntu
  sudo apt-get install netbeans
  

• Alternatively, you can download the Linux installer script from here (e.g., jdk-8u111-nb-8_2-linux-x64.sh). Change the script permissions using chmod +x. Execute the script using ./jdk-8u111-nb-8_2-linux-x64.sh.
