Setup for Java Classes

• Operating System
  • PC: Windows 10 or later
  • Mac: OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8) or later
• Java: Amazon Coretto Java Development Kit (JDK): you will find download and installation instructions below.
• IDE: unless otherwise directed, you should use IntelliJ as the development tool for your class. You will find download and installation instructions below.

There are three steps to setting up your computer for class:

1. Download and install Java.
2. Download the appropriate class files and unzip them.
3. Download and install IntelliJ (unless otherwise directed).

Amazon Coretto and the Java Development Kit (JDK)

Downloading and installing to this will be covered in the course.

Download and Unzip Your Class Files

1. The first step is to create the folder in which you will store your class files: Create a new folder named Webucator wherever you want, but make sure you remember where it is.
2. Download the class files from the bottom of this page (if you don’t already have them) for your course and unzip them into the Webucator folder. This will create a folder called ClassFiles.

Get the IDE

Download IntelliJ (the Community edition will work fine for this course) from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download and install it.

Note that if you have been instructed to use a different IDE or editor, you should download and install that one instead.

Congratulations. You are all set for your course.
