- Installing the Software
Required Software
Before you install the IDE, the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 5 Update 19 (version 1.5.0_19) or newer (including JDK 6 Update 14) must be installed on your system. If you do not have an installation of JDK, you cannot proceed with the installation. You can download the latest JDK version at http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads.
For the PHP, Ruby, and C/C++ download options, you can install the JRE instead of the JDK. However, if you are planning to use any of the Java features, you will need the JDK.
Installer Download Options
On the NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 Download page, you can obtain one of several installers, each of which contains the base IDE and additional tools.
The following installers are available:
- Java. Provides tools for developing Java SE, Java EE and Java ME applications. This download option also includes Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1.1, Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Prelude, and Apache Tomcat software.
- JavaFX. Provides support for JavaFX multi-platform rich application development.
- Java SE. Provides all standard features for Java SE development. Support for NetBeans Plugin Development is also included.
- Ruby. Provides tools for Ruby development and supports Rails and JRuby. Also contains Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Prelude.
- PHP. Provides tools for PHP development.
- C/C++. Supports development in the C, C++, and Fortran languages.
- All. This is a full download option, which contains all the runtimes and packs available for the NetBeans IDE.
Customizing Your Installation
If you download Java or 'All' download options, you can choose exactly what tools and runtimes to install. Click Customize at the Welcome page of the installer and select the features that you want to use. For more information, see Installing the Software.
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.
There are several important notes about installation and configuration of some NetBeans IDE features:
- 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.
- 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 Configuring the NetBeans IDE for C/C++/Fortran.
- 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.
- You can also download a platform-independent zip file and run the NetBeans IDE executable file. Note that the runtimes, such as the GlassFish application servers and Apache Tomcat, are available only with platform-specific installers.
Starting the Download
- Navigate to the NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 Download page.
- In the upper right area of the page, select the language and platform from the drop-down list.
You can also choose to download and use the platform-independent zip file. - Click the Download button for the download option that you want to install.
- Save the installer file to your system.

Platform-Independent Package
To uninstall the IDE files, follow the steps described in the Cleaning Up After Incomplete Installations section of this document.
Upgrading and Coexisting with Previous Versions
NetBeans IDE 5.x, 6.0, 6.1, and 6.5 can coexist with NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 on the same system. You do not have to uninstall the previous versions in order to install or run NetBeans IDE 6.7.1.
If you have NetBeans IDE 5.x, 6.0, 6.1, or 6.5 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 6.7.1 for the first time.
Troubleshooting
About the Installer Working Directory
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.
The default location for the installer working directory is %USERPROFILE%.nbi on Windows and ~/.nbi on other platforms. The log subdirectory contains the installation log files.
Cleaning Up After Incomplete Installations
After incomplete or unsuccessful installations, you might need to clean up your system from previous installations.
For Microsoft Windows, Solaris OS, and Linux:
- Delete the installer working directory.
- Delete the installation directories of the IDE and the GlassFish application server.
- On the Windows platform, delete all nbi* registry entries from the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall
For Mac OS X:
- Drag the program folders or files to the Trash.
Disabling Some Software Before Installation
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.
For example, if you have the Logitech Process Monitor application (LVPrcSrv.exe) running on your system, switch it off before installation.
More Information
JDK for Mac ReadMe
This release of the JDK is a developer-only version. You can use it to create Java applications and includes the new JavaFX 2.2 client stack. The developer version however does not include a plugin to launch Java applications from the browser so applet and Web Start applications cannot use this JDK.
To test if the JDK installed successfully you should do the following:
To test if the JDK installed successfully you should do the following: note: if you are installing JDK 7u5 the version listed will be 1.7.0_05 instead of 1.7.0_04
Switch to the Finder.
