install the correct jdk for your machine. Then download the Community Edition of Intellij for the correct machine from:

https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/

now download the code from blackboard:

this is a jar file. You may unjar it with the command:

jar Ðxvf all.jar

or you may use 7zip or winzip.

When you are done, you will have a j4p folder with the src and the jars;

configure your compiler build heap with extra ram;

I used 2700 Mbytes. Hit Apply and OK.
