I am trying to install NetBeans 8 in Ubuntu 14. When I execute the .sh file using ( I have already set the file as executable )

./netbeans-8.0.2-linux.sh

I get this ( Out of memory error )

enter image description here

I tried using 

export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx1024m -Xms512m"

but the same thing happens. But if I try to install it using sudo

sudo ./netbeans-8.0.2-linux.sh

installation window starts normally

enter image description here

I want to install NetBeans as normal user. As you can see in the screenshot it shows I have NetBeans already installed. But this is installed using sudo, so when I start NetBeans as normal user & create a project I cannot deploy it to the Application Server which are also installed in the root's location.

I know I can change the App Server location or I can use some other server altogether, but it is now its bugging me, that why I can't install it as normal user.

I have also put up this question here.

First, Remove your previous installed version.

Now follow this

Step by step guide

  1. Download Netbeans from here, in my example, I'm using the "All" bundle.

  2. Go into your download folder, E.G.

    cd ~/Downloads

  3. Make the installer executable

    chmod +x netbeans-8.0.2-linux.sh

  4. Start the installation

    sudo ./netbeans-8.0.2-linux.sh

  5. Change the installation target

    /opt/netbeans-8.0.2

    enter image description here

  6. Finish the installation and start Netbeans via your Launcher

  7. Create a sample app, E.G. PHP TodoList and start the application on the build in server
