This chapter describes how to install the Oracle JDeveloper Studio software.

This chapter contains the following sections:

2.1 Understanding the Oracle JDeveloper Installation Types

Before you run the generic installer, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

You must have the required JDK installed on your system. You can obtain the specific version of JDK from the following location on OTN: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
To streamline your installation process, the JDK you wish to use with the product should be the one you use to start the installer program. In that case, be sure the desired JDK is the first one in your system PATH, or reference it explicitly on the command line.
Note:
The JDK version specific to the Oracle JDeveloper installation is installed automatically when you use the platform-specific installer.

2.2 Installing Oracle JDeveloper Studio on Various Platforms

This section describes how to install Oracle JDeveloper Studio on various platforms.

It contains the following topics:

2.2.1 Starting the Installation Program

2.4 Installing the JDeveloper Java Edition

The JDeveloper Java Edition does not require an installer. To install Oracle JDeveloper Java, you need an unzip tool. You can download a free, cross-platform unzip tool, Info-Zip, available at: http://www.info-zip.org/.

Caution:

Jdeveloper For Adf

Ensure that the directory that you install Oracle JDeveloper in, does not contain spaces. For example, do not use C:Program Files as the installation directory.

To install JDeveloper from jdevjava.zip:

Obtain the required JDK from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
Unzip jdevjava.zip to the target directory.
Note:
In this document, in the context of the Java Edition, JDEV_HOME is used to represent the directory of the installation. For example, if you unzipped jdevjava.zip into C:jdev_install, then JDEV_HOME refers to C:jdev_install.
