If you are a developer, working mainly with Java, you will notice that so many things need to be done in order to install and stay updated with Java ecosystem and development tools. There’s a tool called SDKMAN! which can be used to handle installation, configuration, remove, and update all those Java-base software easier. It can be used on major platform (Linux, Windows, Mac) and makes our live as (Java platform) developer easier. However, it doesn’t include support for Fish Shell (yet). So, if you are Linux user and a happy Fish user, stay tuned for a guide to install and configure SDKMAN! for Fish.
First, we need to install SDKMAN!. For this, we don’t care what shell we use. Do this:
$ curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash

Please open a new terminal, or run the following in the existing one:
source "/home/bpdp/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
Then issue the following command:
sdk help
Enjoy!!!
Notes: Your path of course different with mine. Also, if you use Bash or Zsh, you may now use SDKMAN!. If you use Fish, please continue.
Now, install Fisher first:
$ curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jorgebucaran/fisher/main/functions/fisher.fish | source && fisher install jorgebucaran/fisher
fisher install version 4.4.3

Using fisher, let’s install SDKMAN! for Fish:
fisher install reitzig/sdkman-for-fish@v2.0.0
