How do I install Netbeans 6.0 on Ubuntu 7.10?

You should have a ".sh" file.

1) Open a terminal (Application->Accessories->Terminal)
2) run "cd Desktop"
3) run "sh netbeans-<whatever-file-you-downloaded>-.sh"

Netbeans should now start it's installer. If you face any errors, please report back.

Besides that: Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) -which will be released in April- will have Netbeans 6 in it's repositories. So you'll be able to install it by just calling "Applications->Add/Remove".

Thanks, Mark. It seems to be sitting there. The netbeans installer opens,
but it is blank. Any ideas?

You might have no java jdk installed.

1) run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin" in terminal
2) Run "sudo update-alternatives --config java" and make sure java6 is selected as default.
3) Run the installer again

Followed instructions. No luck.
This is what I get before it hangs up...
Configuring the installer...
Searching for JVM on the system...
Extracting installation data...
Running the installer wizard...

Seems like solved this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=254895

Hope this helps

Find the java home directory I did this from Synaptic :
Did a right click on the sun-java6-jdk and displayed properties and have a look at the installed files to find the common filepath - on mine it was /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/

Once you've got that add it as a parameter to your shell command so it looks something like
 sh ./netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh --javahome /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/

IHope that solves it
