To install the webOS TV SDK, follow the instructions provided on this page: http://developer.lge.com/webOSTV/sdk/web-sdk/sdk-installation/ 

Before starting installation, read the following notes:

  • [JDK] If JDK 1.7.0_45 or later is not installed on your computer, the installer will inform you that it requires Java to run. If you click OK, the installer will open Java download page in a browser window. Install the Java and restart the installer. 
     
  • [VirtualBox] If Oracle VirtualBox is not installed on your computer, the installer will prompt you to install it before starting the SDK installation. If you click Yes, the installer automatically installs VirtualBox 4.2.16. Once VirtualBox is installed, proceed with the SDK installation. If you click No, the installer proceeds to install the SDK components, except for the emulator. 
     
  • [VirtualBox] If VirtualBox is not installed on your computer and you select the component ‘Emulator v1.2.0’ in installer, without selecting ‘Emulator v2.0.0’, the installer does not ask for installing VirtualBox and an error occurs. In this case, you need to install VirtualBox first.
     
  • The installer will not work if OpenJDK is installed on your computer.  
     
  • On Windows, the installer must run with "Run as administrator.
