This section describes how to download and install JDK on a macOS computer.

To learn JDBC, you need to have JDK installed on your computer. If you are Mac user, you can follow what I did to download and install JDK 21 on your Mac computer.

1. Go to Oracle Java SE download website at oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads.

2. Click "JDK 21 > macOS" tab.

3. Click on the "jdk-21_macos-x64_bin.dmg" link in the "x64 DMG Installer" line to download the installation file to your "Downloads" directory.

4. Double-click on the "jdk-21_macos-x64_bin.dmg" file to install it.

To test the installation, open a command window to try the java command. 

herong$ java -version
java version "21.0.2" 2024-01-16 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 21.0.2+13-LTS-58)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 
  (build 21.0.2+13-LTS-58, mixed mode, sharing)

Cool, I have successfully installed JDK 21 on my macOS computer!
