Now, I want to use Linux as my operating system as I am fed up with my windows operating system. I would like to ask the
experts here ,who is also a web designer , that which software can replace Netbeans in Linux. Is there any alternative to it or I
will again have to come to windows platform to use it.
Hello Randy.
Actually, you do not have to replace NetBeans as your IDE. Â NetBeans IDE runs on the following platforms:
– Windows
– Linux x86 and x64 (Intel 32-bit and Intel 64-bit)
– Solaris x86, x64, and Sparc (Intel 32-bit, Intel 64-bit and Sparc stations)
– Mac OS X
You can check it out for yourself on their download page: https://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html. Â Just download the Linux version that's right for your current architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
NetBeans IDE is a Java application. Â Which means any platform that has a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) can run it. Â This makes it suitable for running under multiple platforms. Â This is also part of the reason why it is a popular choice for Java developers.
Happy coding!
