1. Before beginning the installation, review the detailed online installation and
troubleshooting guide for your particular platform.
a. Using a web browser, go to:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.6.0/install.html
b. Choose the instructions for your particular platform.
2. Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 6.0
a. Using a web browser, go to:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.6.0/download.jsp
b. Click the Download JDK 6.0 link.
c. Accept the licensing agreement and click the Continue button.
d. Choose an appropriate download option for your specific platform.
e. Follow the instructions presented to complete the installation. MAKE sure
to write down the directory where you install the JDK. You will need this
information in the next step.
3. Update the Path environment variable (if necessary for your platform). See the
installation notes for your particular platform (discussed in Step #1 above) if you
are unsure of how to do this.
a. Set the Path environment variable to the bin directory where you installed
the JDK in Step #2.
For example, if you installed the JDK to:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03
You would set your Path to:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin
4. From a command prompt or terminal window, execute java.exe and javac.exe to
make sure the installation is working correctly.
