JOGL with Java Development Kit (JDK)

order to compile our programs need to have installed the software J ava D evelopment K it ( JDK) on our computer. Depending on your operating system (Windows or Linux) will be how to install the software.



Windows users

For Windows users, use the version of Sun Microsystems desrrollada known simply by the name of JDK .

Version occupied at the time of this writing is the 6 update 14 with JavaFX included. To install the JDK simply follow these steps:

1. Simply enter the official download page of Sun Microsystems and download the version that suits them. There's even a version with NetBeans integrated.
2. Install the software by double clicking on the file jdk-version- windows.exe
3. Follow the simple instructions and ready with This will install the java compiler (javac ) together with the "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE ) in your Windows System.

Linux Users

For Linux users, use the special free version for this operating system known by the name of OpenJDK.


This version I tried both Fedora as Ubuntu (currently use Xubuntu ) without problems, so then I'll explain both:

Fedora Linux


To install the OpenJDK on Fedora Linux with a simple enough instruction (super-user mode) from the command line (requires Internet connection):

# yum install-and-java 1.6.0-openjdk *

With this, install the java compiler (javac ) together with the "Java Runtime Environment" ( JRE) appropriate for your Fedora system, either 32 or 64 bits . Ubuntu Linux




First open the package manager (Internet connection required) by clicking on:

Start -> System -> Package Manager

either:

Start -> System -> Add / Remove ...


Once you open the window package manager, type the package name and select OpenJDK packages:

1. -6-jdk openjdk
2. openjdk-6-jre

Once done this, click on install selected packages and agree to the units. With this, install the java compiler (javac ) with the "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE ) suitable for your Ubuntu system, either 32 or 64 bits.

As I said earlier, I have only installed and tested the OpenJDK in Fedora and Ubuntu , so if you want to install some other distribution such as SUSE or Debian will have to check in the official website of OpenJDK .
