In this video I'll show you how to install all the necessary components for this course.
The first thing we want to install is the Java Development Kit, and we'll download that from Oracle's
official Web site.
- Accept the cookies -
Accept the license agreement, and then choose your platform.
Mine is Windows 64 bits.
Save and now that's downloading.
In the meantime, I'm going to download Eclipse from Eclipse official Web site.
I'm going to download the 64 bit [version].
- Just go to "Download" -
- Save -
... and I'm going to speed this up a little bit.
Now that these two have downloaded I'm going to run JDK first,
and just go through the installation.
It's not too complicated.
Pretty much just press "Next",
close, and then we can run
Eclipse
I'm gonna choose the first option here -
Eclipse IDE for Java developers. Install.
Acccept the software licenses,
and then this is going a bit slower than expected.
But we'll just wait through it.
Then accept the certificates,
and launch.
The first thing we're going to be asked for is the "workspace".
That's the folder where all of your project files will be saved.
Make sure to pick the right folder and then press "Launch".
This is what Eclipse looks like,
I'm just gonna close it for now and then in the next lesson I'm going to run it and explain the basics.
