How to Install Java VM

Java VM (or Java Virtual Machine) is an important web application to keep up to date. Java allows Internet browsers the ability to load complex web pages and display the sites' full selection of videos and graphics. Without Java being up to date, many sites will not appear as they should, and can cause frustration when they don't.

Instructions

1. Follow the link in the References section at the bottom of the page and click "Free Java Download."

2. Click "Save File" when asked if you would like to save the file. The file will now download.

3. Double click the freshly downloaded Java file. It will appear in either a download pop up window or as an icon on the desktop.

4. Click "OK" and then "Run" when asked if you would like to run the program.

5. Click "Install" when the welcome to Java installation menu comes up.

6. Close all programs using the Internet. This includes web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari), instant messengers and iTunes. These programs must be closed because some will be updated with the new Java, but are unable to do so while open.

7. Click "OK" and the installation will begin.

8. Click "Close" when informed of the installation being complete.
