JDK Installation

Ubuntu

OpenJDK

This is the default method for Ubuntu and is recommended:

Use apt to install openjdk-17-jdk, openjdk-17-doc, openjdk-17-source

SDKMAN!

See the page on SDKMAN!

Before starting, a useful command to remember is "list" which shows all available versions:

sdk list java

Now install JavaFX:

sdk install java 17.0.3-zulu

Note, the JDK will be installed in a hidden folder located at (You may have to press Ctrl + H to view hidden folders in Ubuntu's file explorer):

~/.sdkman/candidates/java/17.0.3-zulu

...

java -version
openjdk version "17.0.3" 2022-04-19 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu17.34+19-CA (build 17.0.3+7-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu17.34+19-CA (build 17.0.3+7-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

Note: JDKs are also available from https://adoptopenjdk.net/, but they won't provide JavaFX, which breaks most of IHMC's robotics software.

Mac OS X

Download JDK and JavaFX from https://adoptopenjdk.net/ or https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/zulufx/
