How to Install

To create and run Java programs on your home computer, you will need to download the Java Development Kit (JDK) and Textpad. JDK allows your computer to create and run Java programs, and Textpad is used for writing and running your programs.

IMPORTANT: Install the JDK first! If you install it after you have already installed Textpad, you will need to manually set up Textpad to compile and run Java programs.
