As you can see, the installer will install
180MB
of software into the
C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jdk1.8.0_25
folder on your workstation. Click the
Next
button to start the installation process, which will extract the installation files and
then copy them onto your system, using an animated progress bar, as displayed in
Fig-
ure 1-8

After the Java SDK is installed on your system, you will get the
JRE
installation
dialog, which is presented in
Figure 1-8
(right). Make sure that you accept the default
installation location for this JRE; it should be installed in the
\Java\jre8
folder. It
is best to allow Oracle (Java SDK) to put the software in an industry standard folder
location, as other software packages that you will be using that use this JRE, such as
NetBeans IDE 8.0, will be looking for it there first. Click the
Next
button to install the
JRE.
The installation will show a progress bar during the install, as seen in
Figure 1-9
(left). When it is finished, it will display the
Successfully Installed
dialog, shown in
Figure 1-9
(right). If you want to access tutorials, API documentation, developer
guides, version release notes, and so on, you can click the
Next Steps
button.
