Feeling like a bit of a noob, but how did you install it? I only found a targz download link, didn't understand the contents of it - it looks like the inside of a macOS application package. The installation instructions refer to it being for .dmg file, which it doesn't seem to be.

You might be able to make an installer package from it with pkgutil. You can use the Contents/Home directory from the tarball as your JAVA_HOME; no need to do an installation.

If you're using homebrew then 'brew cask install java' should work once this PR is merged: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/52448 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/52448

    Just noticed that the thread was about OpenJDK, for which there is no cask at the moment. The java cask is the Oracle JDK.

There's also some problems with making (at least) the openjdk8 build appear in the usual places, see https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/homebrew-openjdk/issues/9 https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/homebrew-openjdk/issues/9 for how to do it manually.

I also was confused - but it's simpler than you think! I followed the instructions here: https://www.selikoff.net/2018/05/13/how-to-install-open-jdk-11/ https://www.selikoff.net/2018/05/13/how-to-install-open-jdk-... sudo mv jdk-11.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

Others have already commented but: 1. tar zxf openjdk-11+28_osx-x64_bin.tar.gz 2. sudo mv jdk-11.jdk/ /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ 3. Done!
