javac is not recognized by cmd

Question

So i followed the direction to the letter and added the path file with the directory
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_111
but javac won't work

Answer 1

The answer is that the JAVA PATH is not set in the system environmental variables. Once you do that your system will recognize the command javac and you won't need to type the whole path every time.

Answer 2

Try adding C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_111\bin to the path instead.

Answer 3

thank you!
