how to add jdk9 to intellij IDEA?

Question

I've seen a couple of guides which show me to NEW > module-info.java I don't have that module-info.java item, I'm currently vert lost in that regard. I need someone to help me understand what I'm doing and what I'm supposed to do.

I've just installed IntelliJ, and am new to java (outside of android), I have no idea how to add jdk9 or even if adding is the right term.

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/16765841/104891. The steps are the same except the JDK version you'll be using. — CrazyCoder, Aug 10 '17 at 10:57

Your question is poorly researched and you should put in more effort when asking on StackOverflow. Still, you're new, so here's a freeby:

download IntelliJ, at least 2017.1.2, better 2017.2.1
download and install/unpack JDK 9
add it as SDK (software development kit) to IntelliJ
create a new project and set JDK 9 as SDK
make sure project language level is set to 9

Thanks. Coming from a Visual Studio background and trying to learn IntelliJ + Java this was a very helpful post for installing the newer JDKs. – Chris Smith Feb 20 '19 at 06:08
