Using Windows 10.

Answer 1

Seb TheS this two links might helpful for you

Confirm the existance and name of your jdk directory and don't add the final backslash after bin to the path.

java command should works fine because the java runtime edition (jre) will already be in your path whereas javac is only in the jdk.

To check if your using the correct directory open a command prompt and type..

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk{version}\bin\javac" -version

Note that the quotation marks are required because the path has spaces in it.

and other information are mentioned in below links

Set the path variable in your environment:

Answer 2

In order to utilise Java commands within the command prompt on the Windows 10 Operating System you would have to first navigate to System properties, then environment variables. Under System variables click new and add a variable name "JAVA_HOME". For the variable value add the path for the JDK folder that is under the program files folder within the C: drive, such as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk{JDK version}.
Press Ok twice and you should be able to utilise Java commands within the Command prompt.

I normally set it similar to this when setting my computer for the first time.

Hope this helps!

Justin Joseph I did what was told, but Command prompt doesn't detect javac as a command.
