How to Download Java to Internet Explorer
Have you been trying to enter a web page on Internet Explorer and you kept getting blocked because it says you don't have Java? Follow this step-by-step guide to installing Java for Internet Explorer to experience Java-optimized websites....
Method 1 of 3:
Understanding Java
- Learn the basics of Java. Java is a computer programming language developed by Oracle that is widely used on the internet and in a variety of devices. Many websites will not function properly without the latest version of Java installed on your system.
- Learn how to use it. For the average user, Java occurs only in the background. Installing Java allows you to run Java scripts in webpages. Most browsers will ask you if you want to run the Java scripts that are on the page you are visiting. This is because java can be used for malicious reasons. You should only run Java programs from websites that you trust.
- Keep your Java installation up to date. Oracle regularly updates Java with stability and security fixes. These updates keep your Java installation running smooth, and also protect your computer against possible malicious activity.
Method 2 of 3:
Installing Java for Internet Explorer
- Download the Java software. You can start the online installation from the Java download page. If you are using Internet Explorer, the Free Java Download link will automatically detect the browser and give you the correct download link.
- If you want to download Java for a different operating system, click the All Java Downloads link on the left navigation menu.
- Disable your firewall. This is not always necessary, but some firewall setups will block the installation of Java. If this occurs, then you will need to disable the firewall. The procedure for disabling a firewall varies depending on your network configuration.
- Run the installation program. Open the installation file that was downloaded from Java. Confirm that you wish to install it by clicking the Install button.
- Confirm third-party installations. Java comes bundled with other software. During the installation process, you can choose whether or not you want these installed.
- Finish the installation. The program will prompt you to confirm the completion of the installation. You will need to restart your browser in order for Java to begin working.
Method 3 of 3:
Test the Installation
- Run the Java applet. Java.com has a test program that will confirm your Java installation. You can run it here. The page will automatically detect which browser you are using.
- Allow the applet to run. Internet Explorer will most likely prompt you with one or two security checks, either at the top of the browser or in a pop-up window. Confirm these in order to run the Java applet.
- Check the test results. If you have Java installed correctly, a green check mark will appear, along with the message 'Your Java is working.' Your version will be listed in the gray box.
