Single user vs. multiuser installation
Standard NetBeans module installation is single user. If you want to do a systemwide installation, select the Global checkbox on the View Certificates and Install Modules page.
Important When choosing a systemwide installation, make sure:
- You have write access to the directories in which NetBeans is installed.
- No other users are running NetBeans while you are doing the update.
You may also need to change the protection of installed modules so that others can access the files.
