Using HomeBrew to Install Java JDK11 on MacOS (2021)

I know there is a post with the exact same title but since it’s a little bit outdated I’d like to post a slightly adjusted version for the people who is googling a updated solution.

Step 1: Install Homebrew (if you haven’t done it already)

$ /bin/bash -c “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)”

Step 2: Update it (if you haven’t done it already)

$ brew update

Step 3: Install Java11

$ brew install java11

Step 4: Symlink it

If you skip this step the system won’t be able to find a java runtime for you to use.
