If you have decided to set up your machine for the Java programming language, this section will show you how to download and install Java. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the steps you need to take to set up the environment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The first thing you need to do is download the Java SE Development Kit, which you can get here Java SE Development Kit<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Download a version that works with your computer’s operating system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Follow the steps to download Java and then run the .exe<\/strong> file to put Java on your computer. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n

          How to Set Up Your Java Development Environment? – Setting up Windows Path<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Let’s assume that you’ve installed Java in C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk directory –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. The first thing to do is go to ‘My Computer’ right-click and select ‘Properties’.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. The second step is to click Environment Variables from the ‘Advanced’ tab.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Lastly, alter the ‘Path’ variable so that it also contains the path to the Java executable. For example, if the path is currently set to ‘C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32’, then change your path to read ‘C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32;c:\\Program Files\\java\\jdk\\bin’.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Setting up the path for Linux, UNIX, Solaris, and\u00a0FreeBSD<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                The Environment variable PATH<\/strong> should be set to point to where the Java binaries have been installed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                If you don’t know how to do this, look at the documentation that came with your shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                For example, if you are using bash as your shell, then you would add the following line to the end of your ‘.bashrc: export PATH = \/path\/to\/java:$PATH<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
