How to install NetBeans IDE 8.0 in Ubuntu 14.04

You can use ubuntu software center to install the NetBeans. Even though you might have face difficulties when getting the latest version of the NetBeans. Here I have wrote down steps of getting the latest version.

1. Download  NetBeans via this link. Be careful to select the correct platform. In this case it would be Linux(x86/x64) : https://netbeans.org/downloads/
2. After the download is finished you would be able to see a file called "netbeans-8.0-linux.sh" in your "Dowloads" folder.
3. Now Open the ubuntu terminal.
4. Navigate to the folder where "netbeans-8.0-linux.sh" is situated.
5. Type "./netbeans-8.0-linux.sh". Then press enter.
6. Now set up will start and NetBeans will be installed.
7. It is much better to install JAVA before installing NetBeans. You need JDK 8 to run this version of the NetBeans.
8. My next post will explain how to install the latest version of JAVA in ubuntu
