Installing Java SDK 6

In order to develop Java applications I need to install a SDK (software development kit).  These are the steps I took to get this installed and working.

1) I went to the Oracle website to download the Java 6 SDK package.
     http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
2)  I then clicked the "Download JDK" button under the this specific version of Java:
     Java Standard Edition 6 Update 23
3)  After clicking this button you will be redirected to a page where you must select which platform you will be developing on.  Selected your Operating system, check the I agree box and click OK.  After you click OK you will be redirected to another page instructing you to click a link to continue downloading the appropriate kit based on which platform you selected.
4)  When the download is complete I ran the executable file I downloaded and followed the on screen instructions to prepare my system for proper installation. Depending on the speed of your system the installation should take a few minutes to install.
