Getting started guide
To be able to start coding, we need an Integrated Development Environment. This tutorial teaches you to download the most popular IDE – IntelliJ IDEA community version. It was developed by JetBrains who developed the Kotlin language. Without further ado, get started with the setup.
- Download the IntelliJ IDEA community version from here for your operating system and run the downloaded file.
- Click on the Create New Project button.
- Select Kotlin in the left-most panel and JVM | IDEA, because we want to create a Kotlin project with a JVM target based on the IntelliJ IDEA build system and go Next.
- Give the name to the project and click Finish.
- Finally, you will be taken to the IDE editor window.
- Create a new Kotlin file in the src folder.
- Your IDE should look like this.
Now, you are all set to start writing your first program in Kotlin. If you have any questions, please write to me in the comment section below. I will be more than happy to help. Go to the next article to write your first Kotlin code.
