Question

enter image description hereim trying to install JDK 17.0.1 and I don't have any java installed in my computer like other versions of JDK and java runtime. Im using macOS Monterey. my CPU is I5 and I have a Mac book 2020 and 13 inches. more info: MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports) processer: 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 memory: 16 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB

Answer 1

In my case, I downloaded the Arm 64 DMG Installer, the architecture of which does not work on my mac. Downloading the x64 DMG Installer (the final option) was the right choice.

Answer 2

tl;dr

Use an installer for Intel Macs rather than Apple Silicon Macs.

Obtain installer for Macs with Intel chips

Certainly Java 17 will run on your computer.

I am not sure, but I would make this guess as to the root of your problem… I suspect you downloaded an installer for the Apple Silicon Macs, rather than for Macs with Intel chips.

Go to any of the several vendors providing JDK products. Some are free-of-cost, some require a fee. Be sure to understand their terms before downloading.

Those vendors include, off the top of my head: Azul Systems, Adoptium (formerly AdoptOpenJDK), BellSoft, Amazon, Red Hat/IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Pivotal, and likely more.

On their respective download page, be sure to opt for the edition labeled "Intel", "x86", "AMD-64", or some such to indicate Macs with Intel chips.

Do not download any edition labeled "Apple Silicon", "ARM", or "AArch-64", as these indicate the Macs with M1 chips.

Here is an example screenshot from Adoptium web site for their Temurin product, an installer of a JDK implementing Java 17 based on the source code at the OpenJDK project.
