Downloading JDK

Oracle's implementation of the Windows, macOS, and Linux versions of JDK can be downloaded from Oracle's website. For some platforms, JDK is only available in a 64-bit edition, while other platforms have both a 32-bit and 64-bit edition.

Using your favorite browser, visit Oracle's Java main page (http://www.oracle.com/java):

To download JDK, follow this procedure:

1. At the time of writing this book, this page contained a Java for Developers button. Once you click on it, you will be redirected to the Software Downloads section.
2. Find Java SE (includes JavaFX) in the list and click on it (be careful not to click on the Early Access link that is placed next to it, if still applicable).
3. You will now have access to the Java SE Downloads page. Click on the Download button below JDK.
4. Find the version specific to your operating system platform and architecture.
5. If you agree with the license terms, download your copy.
