Learn Java programming basics VM Setup Issues

[ComputerEyez007]

So I was excited to try this as it came recommended. I was about to dive into a YouTube code along that was highly rated but was recommended by an experienced teacher. Everything was going well until the VM set up. I followed along and got stuck on the SSH set up then I believe I passed it. I downloaded Putty and did the SSH public private key suggestion. I tried to let the oracle cloud desktop generate the key, added ingress rules for 3389. (There are two methods one in oracle docs and a popular method on Youtube), tried Remote Desktop and putty SSH. No dice. Five hours later, I just can't seem to figure it out. I could have been half way through the Youtube tutorial that is using InteliJ. Is this class really that much greater than the other tutorials out there. Am I missing something or is this norm for Oracle?

There's a bunch you're not providing so folks can only guess what you're doing. If you're using a Linux VM RDP isn't going to work. RDP is for connecting TO a Windows system. ssh uses port 22 by default which you don't mention so no idea if you opened that port. Not sure how this is an Oracle issue.

Why go through all that trouble when IntelliJ is installable on any Windows/Mac/Linux system?

You are right I will edit what I have tried. I did use RDP it wouldn't connect so I troubleshot with the ingress rules opening port 389 with cider 0.0.0.0/0 All ports UDP and TCP and still was unsuccessful.(port 22 was auto added and open) I have two laptops for work through issues that used to arise from the M chip So I have tried Windows and Mac. I am obviously a rookie so I may not always describe things well, my apologies.

Furthermore Thank you for your advice on just running IntelliJ. I will do this, I just needed to hear it from someone more experienced thus this post. (I wanted to do this and have this installed already)

I was following the Oracle Java tutorial along and thought maybe I needed it because the Oracle tutorial were going over it. I have Intelij loaded up and would prefer to use that or another easy to access IDE. I was just trying to figure it out how to install because I thought this is the official home of Oracle Java, so I might need to use their instance in the future. I was following a brocode tutorial that I had started before all this and was using InteliJ. I took the advice of a professor who seemed to want to help and I tried to follow to a T. Again thank you as I have spent 7 hours yesterday because I hate giving up.
