📥 Downloading and Installation
The first step to installing NetBeans on your Mac operating system is to ensure you have Java JDK installed. If you don’t have it installed already, you can refer to a separate tutorial on how to do this. Once you have Java JDK installed, you can proceed with the download of the NetBeans IDE.
First, open your preferred browser and search for "download NetBeans." The first link on the search results will be from netbeans.apache.org. Click on the link and download the PKG file.

➡️ Project Creation
Once the installation is successful, launch the NetBeans IDE using the Apache NetBeans icon from your Launchpad. From there, you can proceed to create a new project by navigating to "File" > "New Project." Here, you can select the option to create a new Java with Maven project. Provide a name for your project and choose the location to save it. After clicking "Finish," your new Java project will be created within the IDE.
✔️ Running the Project
To run your project, simply click on the "run" button within the IDE. This will compile and execute your project, allowing you to see the output of your Java program.
