installing netbeans using a file with .sh extension

[coolarif]

Hi buddies !

I need to install netbeans using a file with .sh extension.

can you please guide me install it on fedora 16 ?.

If you're doing a single user install of netbeans (that is, you're going to put the netbeans code in a directory area you own, for example /home/coolarif/local ), then it's really simple:

chmod +x netbeans-7.1.2-ml-linux.sh
./netbeans-7.1.2-ml-linux.sh

or even simpler, you can skip the change mode step if you run the script via the shell:

sh ./netbeans-7.1.2-ml-linux.sh

(follow the instructions shown in the installer window that shows, when done there should be
a netbeans icon in your "development" folder)

I usually put the netbeans and glassfish directories under ~/local in my home directory and give it permission to install junit

All this assumes you have a Java JDK installed, see
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ads/index.html

It's important to have your JDK's registered in your Fedora system via the alternatives tool
(see http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...-f16.html#java Note that page guides you as if you're putting in a JRE,
you want the JDK, otherwise it's okay)


I use both 1.6.0_32 and 1.7.0_04

(1.7.0_04 usually and 1.6.0_32 as a backup )

Firstly i would like to thank you Marko .

ya i installed jdk . Your assumption is ok.

I chose second option from your list. I got following response from the terminal :

# sh ./netbeans-7.1.2-ml-linux.sh
Configuring the installer...
Searching for JVM on the system...
Extracting installation data...
Running the installer wizard...
Can`t initialize UI
Running in headless mode
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.
Exception: java.awt.HeadlessException thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "main"

Really it caused headache to me . I just tried without "./" . The response was same.

Can we use more versions ? Will it not conflict ?

Don't do the install as root, I was suggesting a single user installation. In that case you'd run the script as your normal user.


If you have to do a system wide installation, then 'su' to root with the environment (dash after su) option:

su -
<root password>
sh ./netbeans-7.1.2-ml-linux.sh

Your initial attempt failed because without the "-" flag, the root environment didn't have the proper X11 settings


You can have any number of JDKs installed, but it's a good idea to use the alternatives tool to configure the default one. Also when netbeans is up, you set the JDK it uses in "Tools -> Java Platforms" from the main menu bar but the list can have more than one JDK

I tried it more times . It did not work . I just closed the terminal and reopened it (i know it wont do magic) . This attempt worked fine .
Hurray.............................. I (we) installed netbeans on fedora 16.................. Thanks marko ....

i did a mistake , i ran the command as root user...

This is final result from the terminal :

[arif@MyLapZ560 ~]$ sh ./netbeans-7.1.2-ml-linux.sh
Configuring the installer...
Searching for JVM on the system...
Extracting installation data...
Running the installer wizard...
[arif@MyLapZ560 ~]$

[SOLVED]

When you have it running and a project loaded, you can pick the jdk the project will use by going in:

Run->Set Project Configuration -> Customize -> Libraries

you might also need to set the "Source/Binary Format" menu in
Run->Set Project Configuration -> Customize -> Sources
(that second one only is necessary if you change from a higher jdk version to a lower and the Format
version was too high and the source has code the older jdk can't handle)

okay thanks a lot ... Now i'm looking for the installation guide on LAMP .... googl(e)ing about it. Thanks marko .
