Here you can download the Java JDK 1.8. After installing it, it should appear as an option inside IntelliJ. UPDATE: Find File - Project structure menu and go to Project Settings - Project tab. If on Project SDK the Java version 1.8 SDK is not selected, change it and click OK. Scrolling down and you get presented with various downloads depending on which operating system you need Java for, Linux, Mac, Solaris or Windows. Assuming that you are using a recent windows machine running windows 10, you would click on the Windows x64 to download the 64 bit version, jdk-8u221-windows-x64.exe.

This article shows you how to install Java on Mac OSX, and also how to do Java/JDK version switching.

Tested with

• Mac OS 10.15.3
• JDK 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 (AdoptOpenJDK)

The latest version like JDK 11, 13 does not provides JRE installers. Now see how to download and install JDK 8 & JRE in Mac OS without any confusion. The Java SE Development Kit 8 has many releases from JDK 8 to JDK 8u241. Here in this blog we will see the installation of JDK 8u241 on MacOS 10.15 Catalina.

Note
On Mac OSX, Java should installed in this folder; it is Mac’s standard.

We will show you two ways to install Java JDK on Mac, via the popular Homebrew package manager and manually installation.

1. Homebrew

1.1 Install Homebrew and update it.

1.2 Add adoptopenjdk/openjdk.

1.3 Find all available JDK.

The output may vary.

1.4 Java 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, choose one to install.

This example will install Java 8 and 11 for testing.

1.5 Where Java is installed? /usr/libexec/java_home -V

Homebrew will install the JDK at folder /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/, and this folder is Mac’s standard folder for Java installs.

1.6 Test it, by default, Mac takes the highest version.

1.7 How to do version switching? Refer to below 3. version switching

2. Manual installation

The example shows you how to download the early access JDK 14 and install it on Mac OSX.

Steps

• Download JDK.
• Puts the JDK folder at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines.
• Export JAVA_HOME.

2.1 Download the early access JDK 14 from the OpenJDK website.

2.2 Extracts tar file to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

2.3 Export JAVA_HOME.

Find out where is JDK 14.

Create or edit the existing ~/.bash_profile with a text editor.

Export JAVA_HOME, save and exit.

~/.bash_profile

Reflect the changes

2.4 Test it.

3. Version Switching

In this tutorial, we installed the Java 8 and Java 11 via Homebrew (Step 1), and Java 14 manually (Step 2), so this Mac has three versions now. And the Mac is using the JDK 14.

Note
There are tools like jEnv to manage the Java version switching, but I prefer to manage with export JAVA_HOME manually, it’s simple and easy to understand, no black box magic.

3.1 Create or edit the existing ~/.bash_profile with a text editor like vim or nano, export JAVA_HOME to the specified JDK we want to use on Mac.

The above changes will make JAVA_HOME point to JAVA 8.

3.2 Reflect the changes.

Done.

If we want to switch JDK version again, update the ~/.bash_profile and export JAVA_HOME to other JDK version.
