One of the things you need to do to
program in Java on your computer is
install the Java Development Kit also
known as the JDK and that's what we're
going to do in this video specifically
we're going to install the JDK version 11
for a Windows 10 machine
So if you're running Windows 10, you're in the right place
and if you're on a Mac or a Linux machine
check out my channel because I've also got videos for those operating systems as well
but enough chitchat, let's get into the Windows 10 installation of the JDK 11
[Music]
all right so this is the Windows
installation video. Skip this if you're
on a Mac or you're running Linux
alright so we've established now that you
want to install java 11 or in our case
the jdk a Java development kit version 11
there is one got you for Windows users
though and that's if you're running a 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows.
in that case Oracle don't provide 32-bit
versions of the Java development kit anymore
you'll have to install an older version
of the Java development kit if your
computer has the 32-bit version of
Windows. Most modern computers these days
are running a 64-bit version but how do
you actually know if your computer is
running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of
Windows? What you need to do is firstly
get into control panel in Windows I'm
going to come down here and right click
on the windows icon and select settings
that will usually work for most versions
of Windows then you want to go into
system now in my case because I'm
running Windows 10 I can actually type
system and then I get an option down
here I'm just going to type in system
about halfway down here we can see about
your PC I'm going to click on that and
that's how I can get to the screen that
I need to get to now if you're not
running Windows 10 you'll need to go
into system and then you'll find an
option for about so either way we'll get
to the screen here and it should look
very similar to this if you're not
running Windows 10 and the pic we're
down looking for down here is this and
the system type 64 bit operating system
x64 based processor the important bit is
a bit on the left which in my case says
telling me then obviously I'm running a
the JDK version 11
but if you do this and find on your
computer it says 32-bit operating system
then you'll need to install the older
version of the JDK alright some of the
closes down in armed with that knowledge
we can go grab the correct
JD cave so to do that we're going to go
to over all got a browser open I'm going
to go to Java dot some com alright so
once we get to this Oracle page we're
going to come up here and click on Java
S II Java SC by the way stands for Java
standard edition and that's what we're
going to be using in this course so you
can see when I've done that on the
screen now we've got Java SC 11 and in
parentheses we can see LTS so LTS means
long term support so at this point if
you are running a 64-bit version of
Windows like I am come over here to the
right under Oracle JDK click on download
that are bringing the downloads page up
for the JDK version 11 I'm going to
scroll down a little bit I'm gonna click
on accept license agreement I'm going to
come down here to windows I'm going to
click on the executable I'm going to
click on run down here and while that's
downloading I'm going to show you what
the 32-bit version would look like so if
you're running a 32-bit version of
Windows you can
down lived this version or we can
download it but you'll find it won't
work so instead what you do is you go
back instead you'll scroll down a little
bit further noting that there's a Java
and we'll come down here to Java se8
this is the version of Java that will
work was the last version that worked
for 32-bit users then you'll come down
here to JDK download click on that
and under the options here we've got two
versions windows x86 and Windows x64 so
in the case of 32-bit users you would
select this file here this I 5 8 6
version which is the x86 version and
download it as you saw me download Davi
your JDK version 11 but obviously that
would be Java develop my kid version 8
I'm just going to click on yes to start
my installation
so again that would only be the you
don't need to do that if you have a
I've got the 64-bit and that's what I'm
going to do is I'm going to go back now
just to that page again and that was the
version that I selected up here Java 11
so at this point once you've downloaded
either Java 11 or Java right you'll find
that the installation process when you
start it will be very similar so I'm
going to go through the installation
steps knell for jdk 11 i want to click
on next' there i'm going to leave the
default but keep a note of what this
folder is in my case you can see it's C
colon backslash program files backslash
Java backslash JDK 11 and that will be
slightly different if you've downloaded
the JDK 8 click on next and there's a
fairly simple installation process which
we'll go through
at this point we're actually done so we
click on close now alright so thanks for
