Installing Java Development Kit (JDK)

In order to develop scripts for DreamBot you will need the JDK.

Minimum Version

The minimum version to use is Java 8, but DreamBot can be used and developed with any version after that.

Warning

If you're planning on releasing a script on our SDN, the script will need to compile at language level 8.

We recommend releases from Eclipse Temurin.

Downloading and installing the JDK

Microsoft Windows / MacOS

Head towards the download page. Select your Operating System. Then within the table click on the button that says .msi (for Windows) OR .pkg (for MacOS) to retrieve the installer.

Warning

Make sure you are selecting the JDK variant, not JRE

Then just open the executable and follow the instructions.

Linux

If you are running Linux then you can simply follow the official Eclipse Temurin instructions to add the repository to your package manager and install everything within the terminal.
This way will also allow you to easily get frequent updates.
