Any Intel-based computer running macOS.
You cannot install Java for a single user. Installing the JDK on macOS is performed on a systemwide basis for all users. Administrator privileges are required to install the JDK on macOS.
Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS
When starting a Java application through the command line, the system uses the default JDK.
You can determine which version of the JDK is the default by entering java -version in a Terminal window. If the installed version is 15 Interim 0, Update 0, and Patch 0, then you see a string that includes the text 15 . For example:
To run a different version of Java, either specify the full path, or use the java_home tool. For example:
$ /usr/libexec/java_home -v 15 —exec javac -version
Installing the JDK on macOS
- Download the JDK .dmg file, jdk- 15 . interim.update.patch _osx-x64_bin.dmg from Java SE Downloads page.

Uninstalling the JDK on macOS
Do not attempt to uninstall Java by removing the Java tools from /usr/bin . This directory is part of the system software and any changes will be reset by Apple the next time that you perform an update of the OS.
- Go to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines .
- Remove the directory whose name matches the following format by executing the rm command as a root user or by using the sudo tool:
For example, to uninstall 15 Interim 0 Update 0 Patch 0:
$ rm -rf jdk- 15 .jdk
Installation FAQ on macOS Platform
This topic provides answers for the following frequently asked questions about installing JDK on macOS computers.
1. How do I find out which version of Java is the system default?
When you run a Java application from the command line, it uses the default JDK. If you do not develop Java applications, then you do not need to worry about this. See Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS.
2. How do I uninstall Java?
3. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, can I continue to use Apple’s Java 6 alongside the macOS JDK for Java 15 ?
If you want to continue to develop with Java 6 using command-line, then you can modify the startup script for your favorite command environment. For bash, use this:
$ export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 14`
Some applications use /usr/bin/java to call Java. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, /usr/bin/java will find the newest JDK installed, and will use that for all of the Java-related command-line tools in /usr/bin . You may need to modify those applications to find Java 6, or contact the developer for a newer version of the application.
4. What happened to the Java Preferences app in Application Utilities?
The Java Preferences app was part of the Apple Java installation and is not used by Oracle Java. Therefore, macOS releases from Apple that do not include Apple Java will not include Java Preferences.

1.4 brew install java to install the latest JDK 15.
1.5 Where does Homebrew install the java?
Homebrew installed the JDK files and directories at /usr/local/Cellar/openjdk/ , and symbolic link at /usr/local/opt/openjdk points to the latest Java 15.0.1 version.
1.6 The java formula is keg-only, which means it is installed in /usr/local/Cellar but not linked into places like /usr/local/bin or /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ (macOS /usr/bin/java wrapper).
For macOS /usr/bin/java wrapper to find the installed JDK, we manually create a symbolic link at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ .
