| <h2><a name="prerequisites"></a>Prerequisites</h2> | |
| <p>The following software must be installed before you attempt to install | |
| NetBeans C/C++ Development Pack 5.5.1 update 1:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>NetBeans IDE 5.5.1 or NetBeans IDE 5.5 | |
| <br><br></li> | |
| <li>JDK 5.0 or JDK 6.0 must be | |

| <p>Following are instructions for installing NetBeans C/C++ Development | |
| Pack on the Microsoft Windows platform.</p> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <p><b>Before You Start</b></p> | |
| <p>The following restrictions apply to the installation on the Microsoft | |
| Windows platform:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>The installer first extracts the required files to the default temporary | |
| directory defined by the <tt>TEMP</tt> | |
| environment variable. If the amount of disk space in the temporary directory | |
| is less than required, the installation might fail or proceed incorrectly.<br> | |
| If you encounter this problem, you can increase the space allocated for the | |
| <tt>TEMP</tt> environment variable or specify a different temporary directory | |
| that has sufficient space. To specify a temporary directory for the | |
| installation, use the following commands from a command window:<br> | |
| <br> | |
| <tt>> cd <i>location-of-installer</i></tt><br> | |
| <tt>> netbeans-c++-5_5_1_u1-windows.exe -is:tempdir <i>temporary-directory</i></tt><br> | |
| </li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p><b>To Install</b></p> | |
| <ol> | |
| <li>When you have downloaded the installer file, | |
| <tt>netbeans-c++-5_5_1_u1-windows.exe</tt>, | |
| double-click the installer's icon to launch the installer.</li> | |
| <br> | |
| <li>At the Welcome page of the installation wizard, click Next.</li> | |
| <br> | |
| <li>Respond to the license agreement and click Next.</li> | |
| <br> | |
| <li>At the installation directory page of the installation wizard, | |
| accept the NetBeans IDE directory found by the wizard or select a different | |
| IDE installation. Click Next.</li> | |
| <br> | |
| <li>Verify that the installation location is correct and that you have | |
| adequate space on your system for the installation.</li> | |
| <br> | |
| <li>Click Next to begin the installation. </li> | |

| <p>To verify that the installation is correct, start the NetBeans IDE, | |
| build a sample project, and run it in the <tt>gdb</tt> debugger.</p> | |
| <blockquote> | |
