Now you need to insert a Project Name as an example, I’ve given my project the Quick Start name, and you can also select the specific location you want your project to be, in my case I let it be in the default location, just press finish and you will have created your first NetBeans Project.

insert name of the application, location and select finish

With you’re first project created you can now check if it works, to do so you can write a little bit of code to print a hello world.

To do so just write inside the main function System.out.printIn(“Hello World”)

Now that you have written the code needed to print in the console Hello World, you just need to run your application, click the right button on the mouse, and select Run file.

And as you can see on the Output window you´re application is running and it has just printed Hello World.
