What is NetBeans?

The NetBeans IDE (integrated development environment) is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Solaris. The NetBeans project consists of an open-source IDE and an application platform that enable developers to rapidly create web, enterprise, desktop, and mobile applications using the Java platform, as well as JavaFX, PHP, JavaScript and Ajax, Ruby and Ruby on Rails, Groovy and Grails, and C/C++.

NetBeans 6.9.1 introduces the JavaFX Composer, a visual layout tool for building JavaFX GUI applications, similar to the Swing GUI builder for Java SE applications.

Additional highlights

Install NetBeans 6.9.1 on Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat (RHEL)

1. Install Sun’s Java

I recommend to install Sun’s Java, because I think NetBeans works faster with Sun’s Java. Here is the guide, howto install Sun/Oracle Java JDK 6 on Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat (RHEL). OpenJDK should also work.

2. Download NetBeans 6.9.1

from Sun’s NetBeans download page

Select best suitable version or select whole package.

3. Make package executable

chmod +x netbeans-6.9.1-ml-linux.sh

su -
## OR ##
sudo -i

5. Run installer (as root)

./netbeans-6.9.1-ml-linux.sh

6. NetBeans 6.9.1 Installer starts

With full package is possible customize module selection, with clicking customize button:

7. Accept NetBeans 6.9.1 License

8. Choose a NetBeans 6.9.1 Installation Directory and JDK Directory

If GlassFish Application Server is also selected to Installation then select Directory also for GlassFish:

9. Check NetBeans 6.9.1 Installation Summary

10. Installing NetBeans 6.9.1 IDE

11. NetBeans 6.9.1 IDE Installation Complete

12. Start NetBeans 6.9.1 IDE

Or Start NetBeans with using desktop launcher.

      Hi Akshay,

      Did you added run permission with following command?

      chmod +x netbeans-6.9.1-ml-linux.sh

      Or running it with following command should also works:

      sh netbeans-6.9.1-ml-linux.sh
