How do I install Java?

The SEO PowerSuite toolkit is built using cutting-edge Java technology.

The apps require a current version of Java Runtime Environment from Oracle to function properly (version 1.8 or newer).

Please make sure to check the Java installation instructions for your OS below.

Windows

You may use the Java detection tool to ensure that you have the recommended version of Java installed on your Windows PC and identify any versions that are out of date and should be uninstalled.

To install the latest 64-bit Java manually, simply use the free download link from Java.com.

Run the .exe file and click the Install button to accept the license terms and to continue with the installation.

If you are into it, enable automatic updates for your system. This is done through the Java Control Panel (Start menu > Control Panel > Programs > Java > Update).

MacOS

You may detect the Java version you currently have by using Java's applet. To remove any out-of-date versions of Java from your computer (recommended), use the Java Uninstall Tool or follow the guide to remove it manually using Terminal.

Linux/UNIX

On Linux, you'll need to have Oracle Java installed (Open JDK is not supported by the software).

To detect the current version, use the test tool. Remove any out-of-date versions following this guide. 

To install the freshest version of Java, please download a self-extracting archive from Java.com (suits most Linux distributives) and follow the installation instructions. Alternatively, use an RPM installer.
