El Capitan has been released, and because my previous Java post got a lot more traffic than I expected, I’ve decided to consolidate all the information from it and create a guide for installing just the JRE (Java Runtime Environment).
In case you want clearer instructions for the JDK, I have also created another post for installing the JDK if that’s what you require. Installing the JDK is actually simpler because Oracle includes an installer which does a few of the steps for you, so some people may actually prefer those instructions.

Sep 20, 2004 Hello all. I am new to java programming. I use mac and i wanted to download java into mac to try programing, but i can't find specific java application for mac.
The instructions below should also work for future updates to the JRE, so no need to worry about having to find and update version numbers in the code for an update this time!
- Go to the Oracle Java downloads page and download the JRE
.tar.gz
version. This is important, because the.dmg
installer does not work as you might expect. You should end up with a file named something similar tojre-8u60-macosx-x64.tar.gz
, but perhaps a newer version. - Open
Terminal
- Go to your Downloads folder and unzip the JRE download:If this failed for some reason, you can alternatively open the downloaded
.tar.gz
file fromFinder
then navigate to the unzipped directory inTerminal
and continue.Open, view, and visualize reports straight from your desktop with our free, standalone RPT file viewer.

file within to enable the JRE to be used from the the command line, and from bundled applications:The second line fixes a permissions issue create by usingdefaults write
. The third line is not required, but makes the file more user-friendly if you open it again in a text editor. - Move the JRE folder to the correct location:Your password is required here because it is outside of your user folder. Be sure you are in the correct directory (the JRE folder) when you issue this command, because it will move your current directory to
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/
! - Create a link to add backwards compatibility for some applications made for older Java versions:
You should be done now, so try and open the application. If it does not work, some applications require legacy Java 6 to be installed. You can have it installed without actually using it, however, it’s possible to trick the applications into thinking legacy Java 6 is installed, without actually doing so.
If you’re running El Capitan, this is actually a little difficult now, because Apple added SIP (System Integrity Protection) to OS X. I have written a post explaining how to disable and enable SIP.
If you’ve disabled SIP, or are not running El Capitan yet, you can trick some applications into thinking legacy Java 6 is installed by creating two folders with the following commands in
Terminal
:Don’t forget to enable SIP again after creating these directories.

The screen shots and instructions below are for Java 8 Update 65 (8u65). If you are installing another version, make sure you change the version number appropriately.
Example: For Java 8 Update 65 (8u65) the file to download is jre-8u65-macosx-x64.pkg.
Notifications about disabled Java and restoring prompts
The installer notifies you if Java content is disabled in web browsers, and provides instructions for enabling it. If you previously chose to hide some of the security prompts for applets and Java Web Start applications, the installer provides an option for restoring the prompts. The installer may ask you to reboot your computer if you chose not to restart an internet browser when it prompted you to do so.
Test Installation To test that Java is installed and working properly on your computer, run this test applet.
