How to Download Java for LimeWire
- 1). Open your Web browser and make your way to the Java.com website.
- 2). Click "Free Java Download." Wait for the Java application to begin downloading. The software is not large in size, so it only takes a few minutes to complete the download.
- 3). Double-click the downloaded file. This opens the Java installation wizard. Read through and accept the license agreement. Leave the installation name and location blank.
- 4). Close out all Internet programs before selecting "Install." This includes LimeWire, Internet browsers, instant messengers and email accounts. The new version of Java updates most Internet content, and the applications that connect to the Internet cannot be updated while open.
- 5). Click "Install" and the software will install onto your computer. Once complete, you can open LimeWire and begin using it.
