Oops, noticed this text in Software Installation instructions: If you have not already installed a JDK, download and install it now. No specific vendor implementation is required; the only requirement is that it be certified for J2SE 9 or higher. Java's reference implementation is at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. After installing the JDK of your choice, proceed to the next section.
