Читать книгу Programming Kotlin Applications - Бретт Мак-Лахлин, Brett McLaughlin - Страница 28

For Windows users, you'll first need a JDK. You can download one from the Oracle Java download page at www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads. That download has version-specific instructions that are easy to follow.

Once you have Java, you need to get the latest Kotlin release from GitHub. You can find that at github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/releases/latest (that link will redirect you to the latest release). Download the release and follow the instructions and you'll be good to go.

FIGURE 1.9 Good IDEs help you quickly find and fix errors.

NOTE These instructions are intentionally a bit sparse. If you're using the command line already, you probably don't need a lot of hand holding. For almost everyone else, though, using an IDE really is the best approach. As a bonus, you can also use IntelliJ as a proxy for the compiler, so you may just want to save the time it would take you to mess with the command line and put it into coding Kotlin!
