Steps installing JDeveloper on Mac OS 10.8 +


Step 1:  Download & Install JDK

JDK contains the following
a)    Java Runtime Environment (JRE) – The runtime environment for use by the Java Development Kit (JDK). JRE includes a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) – a virtual machine that can execute java bytecode, supporting class libraries and other files that help the execution of code written in java programming language. Location: $Java_Home/jre/
b)   Development tools – Tools to support java programming. Location: $JAVA_HOME/bin/
c)     Java DB – A relational database management system based on java programming language and SQL. Location: $JAVA_HOME/db/
d)    Source Code – Source code that make up the core java. Location: $JAVA_HOME/src.zip



Step 2: Set Java_Home environment variable. To do so, follow the below steps
a)    Open terminal window, and type vi ~/.bash_profile

b)     enter "export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_17.jdk/Contents/Home"



c)     Save and Exit the terminal window.

d) Open the terminal again, type "echo $JAVA_HOME" to confirm the setting up the environment variable and type "java -version" to confirm the java version.


Step 3: Download & install JDeveloper

a   a)    To download, check out the below link –

Ps Note: Choose “Generic” studio edition for installing on a Mac OS.

b) To install, open the terminal, then elevate the current user to superuser of the local system by typing ‘su’ and for the password, enter your admin password. After authentication, type in the following command.

java -jar <path of downloaded jar file>/<jdeveloper.jar> file

In my case, I saved the  downloaded jdeveloper file in my desktop. so the command looked something like this...
java -jar /Users/RajVenugopal/Desktop/jdevstudio11123install-1.jar



 At this stage, you are all set. The installation should start and follow the installation instruction to complete the install process.
