As the title said, this is merely a placeholder for information that I may require in the future. On the internet, there are several articles on this subject. However, I have to use Google to make it work every time, which is odd. I can’t just recall the information or locate the appropriate articles without first skimming through a few.
Some information
brew --version
Homebrew 3.2.11-163-gf14fcc8
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision a3d1c526759; last commit 2021-09-14)
Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision 51f858fec1; last commit 2021-09-14)
Install with HomeBrew
- Update HomeBrew.
brew update
- Add the casks tap.
$ brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
- Install a specified JDK version, such as java8, java11, or java.
$ brew install java11
Follow the steps so that you can find it later,
For the system Java wrappers to find this JDK, symlink it with
sudo ln -sfn /usr/local/opt/openjdk@11/libexec/openjdk.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-11.jdk
openjdk@11 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because this is an alternate version of another formula.
If you need to have openjdk@11 first in your PATH, run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openjdk@11/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
For compilers to find openjdk@11 you may need to set:
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openjdk@11/include"
Verify
java --version
