System Requirements for Installing the JDK on macOS

This wikiHow will teach you how to check what version of Java you have installed on your Mac by checking the System Preferences, using the Java website, or by using your Mac's Terminal. It's the Apple icon in the upper-left of the. Jul 14, 2020 Java allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D, just to name a few. Java software for your computer, or the Java Runtime Environment, is also referred to as the Java Runtime, Runtime Environment, Runtime, JRE, Java Virtual Machine, Virtual Machine, Java VM, JVM.

The following are the system requirements for installing the JDK on macOS:

Any Intel-based computer running macOS.
Administrator privileges.
You cannot install Java for a single user. Installing the JDK on macOS is performed on a systemwide basis for all users. Administrator privileges are required to install the JDK on macOS.

Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS

When starting a Java application through the command line, the system uses the default JDK.

There can be multiple JDKs installed on the macOS system.

You can determine which version of the JDK is the default by entering java -version in a Terminal window. If the installed version is 13 Interim 0, Update 0, and Patch 0, then you see a string that includes the text 13. For example:

To run a different version of Java, either specify the full path, or use the java_home tool. For example:

$ /usr/libexec/java_home -v 13 --exec javac -version

Installing the JDK on macOS

Download the JDK .dmg file, jdk-13.interim.update.patch_osx-x64_bin.dmg.
Before the file can be downloaded, you must accept the license agreement.
From either the browser Downloads window or from the file browser, double-click the .dmg file to start it.
A Finder window appears that contains an icon of an open box and the name of the .pkg file.
Double-click the JDK 13.pkg icon to start the installation application.
The installation application displays the Introduction window.
Click Continue.
Click Install.
A window appears that displays the message: Installer is trying to install new software. Enter your password to allow this.
Enter the Administrator user name and password and click Install Software.
The software is installed and a confirmation window is displayed.

After the software is installed, you can delete the .dmg file if you want to save disk space.

Uninstalling the JDK on macOS

You must have Administrator privileges.

Note:

Do not attempt to uninstall Java by removing the Java tools from /usr/bin. This directory is part of the system software and any changes will be reset by Apple the next time that you perform an update of the OS.

Go to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines.
Remove the directory whose name matches the following format by executing the rm command as a root user or by using the sudo tool:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.interim.update.patch.jdk
For example, to uninstall 13 Interim 0 Update 0 Patch 0:
$ rm -rf jdk-13.jdk

Installation FAQ on macOS Platform

This topic provides answers for the following frequently asked questions about installing JDK on macOS computers.

1. How do I find out which version of Java is the system default?

When you run a Java application from the command line, it uses the default JDK. If you do not develop Java applications, then you do not need to worry about this. See Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS.

2. How do I uninstall Java?

See Uninstalling the JDK on macOS.

3. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, can I continue to use Apple's Java 6 alongside the macOS JDK for Java 13?

If you want to continue to develop with Java 6 using command-line, then you can modify the startup script for your favorite command environment. For bash, use this:

$ export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 13`

Some applications use /usr/bin/java to call Java. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, /usr/bin/java will find the newest JDK installed, and will use that for all of the Java-related command-line tools in /usr/bin. You may need to modify those applications to find Java 6, or contact the developer for a newer version of the application.

4. What happened to the Java Preferences app in Application Utilities?

The Java Preferences app was part of the Apple Java installation and is not used by Oracle Java. Therefore, macOS releases from Apple that do not include Apple Java will not include Java Preferences.

Question or issue on macOS:

I’ve just installed Mac OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion
I’m trying to install a JDK version 6
There’s no Mac package for version 6 on the Oracle downloads:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6u37-downloads-1859587.html

But there is one for JDK version 7
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7u9-downloads-1859576.html

Is there somewhere else I can get a Mac package for JDK 6?

How to solve this problem?

Solution no. 1:

As I recall, the first time you do something that needs Java the OS will ask if you want to install it, and version 6 is what you get. According to this page, typing java -version in the Terminal is enough to trigger the prompt.

For the JDK (and not the runtime), you’ll need to log into developer.apple.com, search for java, and download the Java for OS X 2012-006 Developer Package. I just did this on my MacBook and now have javac 1.6.0_37.

Solution no. 2:

browse to to https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
Download Java for OS X 2013-005 Developer Package
Double-click the resulting java_for_os_x_2013005_dp_11m4609.dmg to open
Double-click JavaDeveloper.pkg to install; go with the defaults/agree to license/enter your password
Bring up terminal and type java -version to make sure you have the right version.
if it’s the wrong version, (e.g. java version “1.7.0_45”), then you need to modify ~/.bash_profile:
Log out & log in again & make sure you’re running the correct version: java -version. Should be java version “1.6.0_65”.

Solution no. 3:

For some bizarre reason – before Java7 it was actually apple that supplied/supported java for OSX instead of Sun/Oracle. That situation only recently changed with JAVA7. So, to get an earlier version – like Java6, go to either http://connect.apple.com – sign in with your apple Id and you will find the jdk for 1.6 listed. You can also find it via https://developer.apple.com/ – or as I already said, starting with 7, you can get it directly from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html

Unfortunately I didn’t see this answer until after I already found a rather wonky solution…I’m assuming that downloading the Java installer from developer.apple.com is the easiest way of installing Java 6, but if, like me, you had installed Java 7, and you’re trying to downgrade and it’s not working (i.e. if installing the developer download still leaves you with Java 7 as the default version), you can download the Java package for OS 10.6 then open it using Pacifist, then copy the files over. (Copying the files from the package for 10.7 did NOT work for me – apparently it installs Java 7, or at least it leaves Java 7 as the default version with no way to choose version 6 instead).
