If you download the .tar.gz for OpenJDK 11 direct from http://jdk.java.net/11/, there’s no obvious install instructions (at least that I can find) either on the OpenJDK website on in the .gz file. If you’ve done any fiddling with different JDK versions on MacOS before, you’ve probably come across the ‘/usr/libexec/java_home’ utility (see here for my previous article about this utility, and answers to this StackOverflow post which includes one of the most extensive and useful guides to running different JDK versions on MacOS that I’ve seen) which does a number of useful things relating to which JDK you’re currently using in your PATH:

/usr/libexec/java_home : shows you were the current JDK home is, eg:
Openjdk For Mac
Oracle also provides the latest OpenJDK release under the open source GPL License at jdk.java.net. Mac OS X Version 10.6 and below Use Software Update available on the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac.
/usr/libexec/java_home -V : lists all installed JDKs, e.g.:
To switch between JDKs, use /usr/libexec/java_home -v version (e.g. 10):
![Install Install](/uploads/1/2/6/5/126512084/726010897.png)
Knowing that your available JDKs are installed to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ by default, moving the contents of the downloaded OpenJDK 11 dir from inside the .gz file to the same location would make sense.
Once you’ve moved it there, java_home -V now shows the new JDK in place:
Openjdk 11 Download Mac Os 10.10
Updating my aliases to quickly switch versions in my .bash_profile, I now have:
Install Openjdk Mac Os
Sourcing the .bash_profile (source .bash_profile) and then running each alias, now I’ve got OpenJDK 11 set up and ready to go!
