Locate the dark blue button that says "Latest LTS Release" and click it to begin downloading the installer.
NOTE: Adoptium.net will attempt to autodetect your operating system and whether you are using a 64 bit or 32 bit system in order to give you the appropriate installer. In most cases, you should receive the correct installer by simply clicking "Latest LTS Release" as described above. If the installer you receive does not work on your system, you may need to click the "Other platforms and versions" button and then select your specific platform manually.
When the download is finished, open the installer and click "Next" to proceed through the installation wizard. The default settings are reasonable for most users, and you can complete the installation by repeatedly clicking "Next".
When you reach the end of the installation wizard, you will see a message saying "Completed..." Click Finish to close the wizard.
At this point, OpenJDK should be installed.
