Chapter 1 ■ the Different faCes of Java: Create a Java 9 Development WorkstationBefore you can download the 360 Megabyte JDK9 installer file for Windows 64-bit, you will need to click
the radio button next to an Accept License Agreement option, which can be found at the top-left of the
download table.
Once you accept this license agreement, five OS-specific links will become activated for use, including
Linux, Mac OS/X, Windows (7 through 10), and Solaris. Be sure to match the Java JDK software that you
download to match your operating system. As you can see, there are now only 64-bit (or x64) versions
available for use on 64-bit systems.
To launch a downloaded JDK9 installer, right-click on the file and use Run as Administrator to install
it using Administrator priveledges (or as Superuser on Linux). Accept the default settings in the six dialogs,
seen in Figure 1-5.
