Setting Up a Java 8 Game Development Environment - Beginning Java 8 Games Development - page 9

The first step is to find where you downloaded your installer files to on your sys-
tem. The default should be set to the Download folder in Windows. I downloaded mine
to a C:/Clients/Java8 folder, as you can see in Figure 1-6 .
Figure 1-6 . Find the JDK 8 install file on your hard disk drive, right-click it, and select Run as administrator
The file will be named using the format jdk-version-platform-bitlevel , so find the
latest version (in this case, it was jdk-8u25-windows-x64 ). Right-click it, and se-
lect the Run as administrator option so that the installer has all the OS “permissions”
that it needs to create folders, transfer files into them, and the like.
Once you launch the installer, you will see the Welcome dialog, shown in Figure
1-7 (left). Click the Next button to advance to the Select Features to Install dialog,
shown in Figure 1-7 (right), and accept the defaults.
