| <h2><a name="requiredsoftware" id="requiredsoftware"></a>Required Software</h2> | |
| <p>Before you install the IDE, the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 5 Update 16 (version 1.5.0_16) or newer (including JDK 6 Update 11) must be installed on your system. If you do not have an installation of JDK, you cannot proceed with the installation. | |
| <p>For PHP, Ruby, and C++ download options, you can install JRE instead of JDK. However, if you are planning to use any Java features, you will need JDK. | |
| <p><b class="notes">Note:</b> The use of JDK 6 Update 12 with NetBeans IDE 6.5 might cause errors and incorrect IDE's behavior. Therefore, use only the recommended JDK versions. For more information, see the <a href="./relnotes.html">NetBeans IDE 6.5 Release Notes</a>. </p> | |
| </p> | |
| <p> </p> | |
| <p align="center"><a href="#top">top</a></p> | |
| <h2><a name="downloadoptions" id="downloadoptions"></a>Installer Download Options</h2> | |
| <p>On the NetBeans IDE 6.5 <a href="https://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html">Download page</a>, you can download one of several installers, each of which contains the base IDE and additional tools. </p> | |
| <p>The following installers are available: </p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><b>Java</b>. Provides tools for developing Java SE, Java EE and Java ME applications. This download option also includes the GlassFish V2 UR2 application server, the GlassFish v3 Prelude application server, and Apache Tomcat software. </li> | |
| <li><b>Java SE</b>. Provides all standard features for Java SE development. Support for NetBeans Plugin Development is also included.</li> | |
| <li><b>JavaFX</b>. Provides support for JavaFX Multi-Platform Rich Application development. </li> | |
| <li><b>Ruby</b>. Provides tools for Ruby development and supports Rails and JRuby. Also contains the GlassFish v3 Prelude application server. </li> | |
| <li><b>PHP</b>. Provides tools for PHP development. The PHP download option is available in Early Access. </li> | |
| <li><b>C/C++</b>. Supports development in the C/C++ language. </li> | |
| <li><b>All. </b> This is a full download option for NetBeans IDE 6.5. It contains all the runtimes and packs available for the IDE. Includes tools for Service Oriented Architecture development. </li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p align="center"><a href="#top">top</a></p> | |
| <h2><a name="customizeinstall"></a>Customizing Your Installation</h2> | |
| <p>If you download Java or "All" download options, you can choose exactly what tools and runtimes to install. Click Customize at the Welcome page and select the features that you want to use. For more information, see <a href="#installation" title="Installing the Software">Installing the Software</a>.</p> | |
| <p>If you want to add functionality to your NetBeans IDE configuration, use the NetBeans Plugin Manager. For example, assume that you start out by downloading and installing the Ruby pack. You then decide that you want to try out the C/C++ functionality. To do this, go to the NetBeans Plugin Manager from the IDE (choose Tools > Plugins) and add the C/C++ pack to your existing installation.</p> | |
| <p>There are several important notes about installation and configuration of some NetBeans IDE features: </p> | |
| <ol> | |
| <li>Apache Tomcat 6.0.18 is included in the "Java" and "All" download options but it is not installed by default from either of these options. To install Apache Tomcat from the Java or "All" download, launch the installer and select Apache Tomcat 6.0.18 in the Customize Installation dialog box.</li> | |
| <li>For C/C++ development (applicable for the C/C++ and "All" downloads), you need to additionally install compilers and tools. For more information, refer to the <a | |
| href="../65/cpp-setup-instructions.html">Installing and Configuring C/C++ Support</a>. </li> | |
| <li>If you want to use the Sun Java System Access Manager, in addition to the "All" download option for the IDE, you need to install Java Application Platform SDK Update 5 or later from | |
| <a href="http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/index.jsp">http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/index.jsp</a>. Ensure that you download the version that includes the Access Manager. <!--For more information about the steps required to install the Access Manager, see | |
| <a href="../../../kb/68/javaee/identity-amsecurity.html#install">Installing the Sun Java System Access Manager</a>.--></li> | |
| <li>To develop Mobility applications for CDC devices you need to download and install the <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/cdctoolkit/download-1_0.html"> Sun Java Toolkit 1.0 for CDC </a>. After installation you must <a href="../../../kb/docs/javame/cdcemulator-setup.html"> register the CDC platform </a> in the IDE.</li> <li>For Mac OS X, you can customize the NetBeans IDE installation from Java, Ruby, and "All" downloads. The IDE installation from JavaSE, PHP, and C/C++ downloads cannot be customized. </li> | |
| <li>Installation of the NetBeans IDE for JavaFX is described in <a href="http://java.sun.com/javafx/1/reference/javafx-netbeans-install/install-nb6.5-for-javafx.html">Installing NetBeans IDE 6.5 for JavaFX</a>. For more information about the NetBeans IDE for JavaFX, refer to the <a href="http://java.sun.com/javafx/1/reference/releasenotes/javafx-netbeans-release-notes-1-1.html">Release Notes</a>. </li> | |

| <h2><a name="upgrading"></a>Upgrading and Coexisting with Previous Versions</h2> | |
| <p>NetBeans IDE 5.5 or 5.5.1, 6.0, or 6.1 can coexist with NetBeans IDE 6.5 on the same system. | |
| You do not have to uninstall the 5.5 or 5.5.1, 6.0, or 6.1 versions in order to install or run NetBeans IDE 6.5. </p> | |
| <p>If you have NetBeans IDE 5.5, 5.5.1, 6.0, or 6.1 installed you will be able to choose whether or not to import the user settings from the existing user directory when you run NetBeans IDE 6.5 for the first time.</p> | |
| <p align="center"><a href="#top">top</a></p> | |
| <h2><a name="troubleshooting" id="troubleshooting"></a>Troubleshooting</h2> | |
| <div> | |
| <h3>About the Installer Working Directory</h3> | |
| <p>The installer stores data about installation sessions in the installer working directory. Examples of this data are the list of components installed on your system, installation log messages, and registry data. </p> | |
| <p>The default location for the installer working directory is <tt>%USERPROFILE%\.nbi</tt> on Windows and <tt>~/.nbi</tt> on other platforms. The log subdirectory contains the installation log files. </p> | |
| </div> | |
| <div> | |
| <h3>Cleaning Up After Incomplete Installations</h3> | |
| <p>After incomplete or unsuccessful installations, you might need to clean up your system from previous installations. </p> | |
| <p><b>For Microsoft Windows, Solaris OS, and Linux:</b></p> | |
| <ol> | |
| <li>Delete the installer working directory.</li> | |
| <li>Delete the installation directories of the IDE and the GlassFish application server.</li> | |
| <li>On the Windows platform, delete all <tt>nbi*</tt> registry entries from the following registry keys: <br> | |
| <tt>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall</tt> <br> | |
| <tt>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall</tt> </li> | |
| </ol> | |
| <p><b>For Mac OS X:</b></p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Drag the program folders or files to the Trash. </li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </div> | |
| <div> | |
| <h3>Disabling Some Software Before Installation</h3> | |
| <p>It is better to disable firewall, antivirus, and monitoring applications before you start installation. Some of these applications can prevent IDE components from being configured correctly during the installation process. </p> | |
| <p>For example, if you have the Logitech Process Monitor application (<tt>LVPrcSrv.exe</tt>) running on your system, switch it off before installation. </p> | |
