IDE & Hello World
Install IntelliJ IDEA
IntelliJ IDEA is a cross-platform IDE that provides consistent experience on the
Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

IntelliJ IDEA is available in the following editions:


• Community Edition is free and open-source, licensed under Apache 2.0. It
provides all the basic features for JVM and Android development.
• IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate is commercial, distributed with a 30-day trial
period. It provides additional tools and features for web and enterprise
development.

We will install the community edition

o Add the directory with IntelliJ IDEA command-line launchers to


the PATH environment variable to be able to run them from any
working directory in the Command Prompt.
o Add the Open Folder as Project action to the system context
menu (when you right-click a folder).
o Associate specific file extensions with IntelliJ IDEA to open them
with a double-click.

To run IntelliJ IDEA, find it in the Windows Start menu or use the desktop
shortcut. You can also run the launcher batch script or executable in the
installation directory under bin.

When you run IntelliJ IDEA for the first time, some steps are required to
complete the installation, customize your instance, and start working with the
IDE.

Start a project in IntelliJ IDEA

When you click Start using IntelliJ IDEA, it will show the Welcome screen.

1. Launch IntelliJ IDEA.

If the Welcome screen opens, click New Project.

Otherwise, from the main menu, select File | New | Project.


2. From the list on the left, select the framework that you want to use in
your application.
3. If suggested, configure the project SDK. To develop Java-based
applications, you need a JDK (Java Development Kit).

If the necessary JDK is already defined in IntelliJ IDEA, select it from


the Project SDK list.

If the JDK is installed on your computer, but not defined in the IDE,
select Add JDK and specify the path to the JDK home directory (for
example, /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-12.0.1.jdk).

If you don't have the necessary JDK on your computer, select Download
JDK. In the next dialog, specify the JDK vendor, version, and change the
installation path if required.

Some frameworks require their own SDKs in addition to the JDK, for
example, Android or Grails.
