Installers

Installers are currently available for Windows®, Linux®, and macOS® JDK and JRE packages. Installation stepsare covered in the following sections:

Windows MSI installer packages

AdoptOpenJDK Windows installer packages are available as standard .msi files, which can be run with an interactive user interface or run silentlyfrom the command line. The installer is designed for use on a per-machine basis, not per-user basis, so you can have only one installation of the MSIon a machine for all users.

Note: Windows installer packages are supported only on Windows x64 systems.

GUI installation

Instructions for running an interactive installation using the Windows MSI installer.

1. Download the .msi file. Open it to launch the installation program.

2. Read and accept the license if you are happy with the terms.

3. On the Custom Setup screen you can choose the features that you want to install and optionally change the default installationdirectory. By default, AdoptOpenJDK installs to c:Program FilesAdoptOpenJDK<package> with the following features, which you can deselect, if necessary:

  • Add the installation to the PATH environment variable
  • Associate .jar files with Java applications
Additional features can be selected by clicking on the directory tree where you see a check mark (x). These features include:
  • Updating the JAVA_HOME environment variable
  • Installing IcedTea-Web (AdoptOpenJDK 8 only)
  • Associate .jnlp files with the IcedTea-Web application (AdoptOpenJDK 8 only)
