SDKMAN provide options to manage GraalVM, JavaSE SDK, OpenJDK, ANT, maven, Gradle and many more.
It is crucial to decide what developer you are. Are you the a Windows, a Mac or Linux user?
This setup is run as a normal – non-root – user, so that every user on a multi-user environment has its own managed versions.
Setup prerequists
If you are a Linux user, perfect you will have the easiest path! Linux is developed by developers FOR developers. If you a Mac user it is a bit more complicated as Linux but still very easy. As a windows user? puhh it will take time…
Linux installation
This is the part which requires root privileges to ensure the commands are available for everyone.
You will need following packages on debian based systems like Ubuntu execute:
sudo apt update sudo apt install curl wget git
Now you can install SDKMAN
Mac installation
for Mac the package installation is
brew install curl wget git
now go on with the steps of SDKMAN
Windows installation
Puhh, we will only briefly describe to setup on a crappy operating system for developers. Also informing you, that this path will cause many really odd issues, so it is NOT suggested to work under Windows with JHipster directly.
- install cygwin with bash, wget, curl
https://www.cygwin.com/install.html - under cygwin install sdkman
follow the steps like under Linux described
now go on with the steps of SDKMAN
Install sdkman itself
Install sdkman to manage different SDKs as your own – non-root – user.
curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
follow the instructions. And now run following command to enable it in your current terminal:
source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
now check the installation with
sdk version
and you shall get something like
sdkman 5.15.0
Perfect you are done with installing SDKMAN
