How to Install Java 11 on Mac

If you're looking to install Java 11 on your Mac, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.

The first thing you'll need to do is download the OpenJDK 19 package from the Adoptium website. This package contains the binaries for the Java Platform, Standard Edition 11 Reference Implementations, and can be downloaded as a single zip file under the GPLv2 license.

Once you've downloaded the package, open a new terminal window on your Mac and navigate to the location where you saved the file. From there, you'll need to run the installation command.

Here's an example of how to do this:

`openjdk11 --install`

This will install the JDK onto your Mac and put it in the `/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-19.jdk/Contents/Home` directory. Once the installation is complete, you'll be able to verify that Java 11 is installed by running the following command:

`java -version`

This should output something like `openjdk 19.0.1`, indicating that the JDK has been successfully installed.

Another way to install OpenJDK 11 on your Mac is through Homebrew. If you're already using Homebrew, you can install the JDK by running the following command:

`$ brew install -cask temurin`

This will download and install the latest version of OpenJDK 11 for your platform.

Finally, if you want to get the latest version of Java 11 without having to worry about installing it manually, you can simply select macOS Catalina and OpenJDK 19 from the package installer. This will download and install the JDK onto your Mac automatically.

Regardless of which method you choose, once the installation is complete, you'll be able to run Java programs on your Mac using the `java` command.
