1. Introduction

Now that you’re committed to Java development, how can you avoid having a handy IDE? Just the so-called work to do good. Must first advantage of its device, an IDE in the hand is like the TV drama of the magic weapon, can let us greatly increase the power, greatly improve our efficiency.

But there are so many IDEs on the market right now, like Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans… Which one should we choose? Since I can’t make a decision, I’ll choose it for you! If you have not been contacted, then direct IDEA, the following to the installation of IDEA!

2. Preparations before installation

Before we start the installation, we need to do some preparation, first of all, which one to choose between Community Edition and Ultimate Edition, and then the hardware and software support.

2.1 Ultimate vs. Community

For the Ultimate Edition and the Community Edition, I selected the differences shown below from the comparison given on the official website. You can see that the Ultimate version is much more powerful than the Community version in terms of language support, framework support, Build tools, deployment tools, version control, etc. But the biggest difference is one that we are most concerned about: the Ultimate version costs money, while the Community version is free, so you can choose according to your needs.
