Install JDK 8 on Windows 10, and set Path

Browse to Oracle Java SE Downloads (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) to download the latest JDK.


Check the option to Accept License Agreement, and select the download file. "jdk-8u60-windows-x64.exe" in my case.


Run the downloaded file after download completed. And follow the steps.


After installed JDK, you have to set Path to it.

To set path, search "Environment Variables", click "Edit the system environment variables".

Click on "Environment Variables..."

Select and edit Path

Add the path of the bin folder of your JDK, "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin" in my case.


After path set, you can run javac in command prompt.

  1. Any idea why I always get through the same steps but at the end when you hit EDIT > PATH, you receive a box that says Edit System Variable on top. I ALWAYS get a box that says Edit Environment Variable and it has an entire list of items to edit. Your example shows Edit System Variable and only 2 boxes to edit: Variable Name and Variable Value. I have a screen shot if you want to see the different box that I see.

    Thanks

    1. you have 2 folders while installing java. so add the 2nd folder also on user variables to have the javac available.
