Prior to installing geoserver (or better deploying it) you need to be sure to have a valid JDK version (Java Developer Kit). Read the installation manual to be sure which version you need. 

For the October 2023 geoserver course within Deltares it is advised to follow the coming suggestions2025 geoserver version, please follow the following instructions:

• Install OpenJDK1117 (during the installation choose Set JAVA_HOME variable), as shown below).

• Download latest stable (2.2327.2) and choose:
  • the Platform Independent Binary
  • Windows installer

Note!

It is really important not to install OpenJDK17, since this is not compatible with the geoserver versions. Please check installation documentation of the specified version (for geoserver 2.27.x version see this link). 

Suggestions

The Platform Independent Binary is just a zip that you unzip and where you need to fire up the server yourself. With the Windows installer you install Geoserver which is always running. So that means it consumes resources, but is less work.
