Download and installation of the Java Virtual Machine
Skip information indexDownload and installation of the Java Virtual Machine - Prior considerations
To run help programs or carry out procedures that still use Java on the AEAT website, it is necessary to install Java on the computer.
Because Microsoft Edge does not support Java and Google Chrome plugins, Mozilla Firefox (version 52 and later) and Safari (version 12) have limited their support for the technology required for Java applets (NPAPI), the recommended options based on of the operating system are the following:
Windows
On Windows operating systems, you can use the Microsoft Edge browser configured in its Internet Explorer compatibility mode. For more information, see the "Checking the Java Virtual Machine" help.
macOS
On Mac OS systems you can use a version of Firefox older than 52 or, alternatively, access it from a Windows computer with Microsoft Edge, configuring compatibility with Internet Explorer.
In order to install updated versions of Java on Mac, the minimum system version must be 10.7.3.
Linux
On Linux systems you can use a version of Firefox prior to 52 or install the Pale Moon browser with the necessary configuration to run the Java plugins.
