I have to convert my Matlab algorithm in Java. For this I'm using matlab builder ja toolbox, after following all the necessary steps, the build fails and this error is displayed:
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Error: An error occurred while shelling out to javac (error code = 1). Unable to build executable.
When typing java -version in the matlab command line, this is what i get:
Java 1.6.0_12-b04 with Sun Microsystems Inc. Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM mixed mode
It means I should have this compiler of java installed on my computer, only then the matlab builder ja works. I'm new to Java, I'm not sure what compiler I should be looking for.
First make sure you have installed jdk and jre, both are installed with the java software development kit. The installation folder is typically C:\Program Files\Java.
Now go to Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings in the advanced tab click on Environment Variables
In System variables find the variable named Path, in the value of Path you will find a java path like C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath, just change it to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.x.x_x\bin.
Hope that helps.
If you want javac (the compiler), you'll need to download the Java Development Kit (JDK), not just the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Note that the JDK includes a JRE.
This tutorial give instructions to install JDK to your computer.
You need to make sure that Java SDK is installed and also PATH is set properly so that windows would be able to know where the executable is. Detailed steps on how to debug this issue is explained here: http://www.windows-commandline.com/javac-not-recognized-internal-external-command/
To solve the aforementioned problem follow the mentioned steps:
1) Copy the address location of your Java\jdk\bin folder usually installed in your C: drive. It should look something like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\bin
2) Right click on My Computer-->Properties-->Change settings-->
Advanced-->Environment Variables.. -->New..
3) Now,
Set Variable name: PATH
Variable value: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\bin
4) Press OK, re-open your cmd and compile your program.
Hopefully it worked!
Path is defined as the filename. Ex, C://aklsej;dlfkj/blahblah
You will need to specify the full path in the system control panel, advanced system settings, edit variables, edit path, put a semicolon after the last entry and don't delete anything, and then add the full path wherever you installed java to.
to make this easy, do a search for javac in the search panel and then just add the full path to the environmental variables from there.
Set Following Environment Variables
It will works
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin
Download Java from given link according to your requirements.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
then follow below steps:
Step-1 : Right Click on MyComputer and click on properties .
Step 2 : Click on Advanced tab
Step 3 : Click on Environment Variables
Step 4 : Create a new class path for JAVA_HOME
Step 5 : Enter the Variable name as JAVA_HOME and the value to your jdk bin path ie c:\Programfiles\Java\jdk-1.6\bin and
NOTE Make sure u start with .; in the Value so that it doesn't corrupt the other environment variables which is already set.
Step 6 : Follow the Above step and edit the Path in System Variables add the following ;c:\Programfiles\Java\jdk-1.6\bin in the value column.
Step 7 :Your are done setting up your environment variables for your Java , In order to test it go to command prompt and type
java
who will get a list of help doc
In order make sure whether compiler is setup Type in cmd
javac
who will get a list related to javac
Hope this Helps !
If you receive this error, Windows cannot find the compiler (javac).
Here's one way to tell Windows where to find javac. Suppose you installed the JDK in C:\jdk1.8.0. At the prompt you would type the following command and press Enter:
C:\jdk1.8.0\bin\javac HelloWorld.java
If you choose this option, you'll have to precede your javac and java commands with C:\jdk1.8.0\bin\ each time you compile or run a program. To avoid this extra typing, consult the lecture "Creating a Hello World application" in this website
Class names, 'HelloWorld', are only accepted if annotation processing is explicitly requested
If you receive this error, you forgot to include the .java suffix when compiling the program. Remember, the command is javac HelloWorld.java not javac HelloWorld.

I have the JDK 10.0.2 installed, have the cmd opened in the folder of the class files of my program and try the command: javap Simulation.class .
I get the error that the command javap is not found. What do I do wrong?
You must have your $JAVA_HOME/bin directory added to system PATH for javap command to be available without it's absolute path.
Alternatively you can call javap using the absolute path:
/usr/lib/.../bin/javap Simulation.class
Assuming you are on Windows, check in your environment variable PATH whether path to Java executables is set.
Ex. If you have installed Java on path,say, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10
Then you have to add C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10\bin to your PATH environment variable to be able to execute java commands from anywhere on command line.

On a sidenote, recommend you to move to Java 11 or 17 now that Java 10 is no longer supported. The above instructions would still remain same.
append $JAVA_HOME/bin to system $PATH variable. for example on linux
JAVA_HOME= "path of java installation on system"
export PATH = $JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
Open the control panel and type envir in search bar.
Click on edit the system environment variables.
Click on environment variables in the advanced system properties.
Click on path mentioned in user variables.
Edit the path, and click new and paste the path of java jdk.
In my system, the path is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.2\bin, it could be different for your system.
Click ok, the problem must be solved now.
I am trying to install Java in Windows 10 Home (64 bit). Like many tutorials point out, I downloaded the Java jdk setup file, executed it and once installed changed the Path in the Environment Variables. But for some reason, when I execute the command 'javac' it returns the not internal/external command error in Command Prompt but runs absolutely fine in Powershell. I tried to rectify this by uninstalling Java and reinstalling it very carefully, following all the steps but still this keeps on happening.
Also, during installation of Java, I lost the original value to my Path variable. Could this be causing the problem?
Edit : I was able to get the java command running in the command prompt but javac still won't work. I've already tried the methods suggested on other forums and this one but no luck so far.
See there is no problem with Java installation if you can find JDK(Java development kit) and JRE(Server Java runtime environment) in programme files in windows in a JAVA folder.
The main problem is with the environment variable declaration.
Go to environment variables and make a new path for that.
JAVA_HOME = "YOUR JDK & JRE INSTALLATION PATH"
And another one is
JAVA = "YOUR JDK & JRE INSTALLATION PATH"
Hope that help to you. After doing that if still there problem persisist just restart your PC and check again.
Just add your variable location up to /bin/
Refer to this :
https://www.windows-commandline.com/javac-not-recognized-internal-external-command/
Open file explorer
Right click computer then click properties
click advanced system settings
click environmental variables
click path (for me there was one in user variables for admin and another in system variables)
find the directory for javac (for me it was here C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_191\bin)
so go back to file explorer and open program files x86
then open the java folder
then open the jdk folder
then open the bin folder
highlight the path in the search bar and copy it
click edit on path and paste into the path in the environmental variable for both(if you have more than one path)
If no path exists then create one in user variables
If there is any existing text place a semicolon ; between the text you pasted in there and the preexisting text.
close command prompt and reopen it.
type javac -version
the version info should be listed
This problem comes up with the directory of your command prompt.
check your PowerShell and command prompt default directory.
We can run command prompt as WinKey+R then type cmd, Hit the enter button then check our java version cmd javac -version.
I have 3 java in my system 1.6, 1.7 and java 8.
I set my JAVA_HOME and path to 1.7, but when I run java -version using cmd administrator mode it return me 8.
Could anyone please tell me from where cmd pick java, and how i can change it to another version.
Updated: I already set java 7/bin in path variable
Start your cmd shell and type echo %PATH%.
OS would inspect listed directories and the first one that has java binary will be the one being used.
To change it - the PATH variable is set based on the settings in Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables. You'd need to start a new cmd session to see updated changes.
When we run cmd as an administrator then it pick java.exe which is already available under C:/user/windows32 folder.
To resolve this issue, instead of appending my java at the end of the path, append in the starting of the path vaiable.
So here is the code used in cmd if run as administrator
set path=%JAVA_HOME%/bin;%path%;
java -version
I downloaded this Java JDK and installed it.
But when I go to the command prompt to check the version, it says it's not recognized.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue with the latest Java?
I might not have installed the right version. I need the java that works with grails
C:\>java
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\>java -version
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\>
when i do a search on my computer for java, it does not find anything
Windows 2k8 R2 server-
For both java [-option] or %JAVA_HOME% to work in the command line you need the following:
In Control Panel->System and Security->System->Advanced system setting->Advanced->Environment Variables->System Variables
Edit the Path variable and add a ";" after the last value and add the the path to the Java bin directory:
e.g.- C:\Progra~2\Java\jre6\bin\
Add the JAVA_HOME Variable with the value set to the path for the java executable:
e.g.- C:\Progra~2\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe
Press simultaneously the "windows" and "pause" buttons on your keyboard, this will bring up the System Preferences dialog.
In the Advanced tab, find Environment Variables.
Then, in the User (upper) section, create or update the following two variables :
JAVA_HOME = where you put your JDK, eg. C:/Java/SDK
PATH = %JAVA_HOME%/bin
Close the dialogs.
Then, in a new command-line console, try "javac -version" and see if it's detected.
It's important that you use a new console, because environment variables are read only when the console is launched.
Java is typically installed (on Windows) as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk<version>
That installation directory has a subdirectory bin which you need to append to your PATH environment variable via the control panel. Then, the commands like java, javac etc. will be available on the command line.
BTW, the same is true for Grails.
Is the -version flag not recognized, or is the "java" command not recognized? One way to test this is just to type 'java' by itself and run it and see what happens.
If the command is not recognized, make sure that the JDK's install path is in your windows PATH. If not, you won't be able to use any of the java executables from the command prompt. Here's another link that may help out.
You need to manually add the path to javac.exe and java.exe to your operating system path. The Java installation program doesn't do that for you.
You most likely don't have java.exe in your system's PATH variable.
For Linux:
check $PATH and $JAVA_HOME. You can configure it in /etc/environment
From console you can check it like:
$ echo $PATH
For Windows:
My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables
Check there PATH.
From console you can check it like:
echo %PATH%
You should have a Java icon in Windows Control Panel. Locate the Java tab and click the View button. That will show you the path to the Java executables.
Last but not least, make sure you have restarted the computer so changes in the PATH variable can take effect.
You installed the JDK. Isn't java.exe part of the JRE? Do you have that installed?
Maybe your system variables in the environment variables are not set properly. Follow the steps in the link below. Finally, make sure the path component in system variables has only one JDK path. Delete other JDK paths that you won't use.
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/paths.html
You might have installed a previous or older version of Java so you can just uninstall it and directly download JDK from Java JDK
I was also facing the same issue but when I downloaded and installed the latest version the issue was resolved.
Also uninstall any other Java versions which may be present in the program files.
To get to know other versions which may be present in your computer use Windows File Explorer to go to:
Files > Windows C > Program Files > Java
All the JDK and JRE you have will be listed there. Uninstall any other Java versions other than what you installed. And then make sure you have set the path variable of the JDK.
For me, it was incorrect line in the PATH
(1) Check PATH: Type "Edit System Environment Variables" on the search -> System Properties -> Advance -> Environment Variables -> System variables -> Path
(2) On the list, mine was C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath so I just add \ at the end (the exe files in the javapath folder)
OS: Windows 10 64 bit
IF you set the PATH and it's not showing up in cmd when you run %PATH%, try restarting your computer.
Here's the address on my drive:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin
How would I go about setting the path variable so I can go in command window (windowskey+r "cmd") and be able to type things like:
javac TestApp.java
I'm using Windows 7 Professional.
That would be:
set "PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin"
You can also append ;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin to the PATH in the user environment dialog. That would allow you to use javac and other java tools directly form any cmd shell without setting the path first. The user environment dialog used to be somewhere in the system properties in XP, I have no idea where it is in Windows 7.
Typing the SET PATH command into the command shell every time you fire it up could get old for you pretty fast. Three alternatives:
Run javac from a batch (.CMD) file. Then you can just put the SET PATH into that file before your javac execution. Or you could do without the SET PATH if you simply code the explicit path to javac.exe
Set your enhanced, improved PATH in the "environment variables" configuration of your system.
In the long run you'll want to automate your Java compiling with Ant. But that will require yet another extension to PATH first, which brings us back to (1) and (2).
Step 1: Set the PATH variable JAVA_HOME to the path of the JDK present on the system.
Step 2: in the Path variable add the path of the C:\Program Files\Java\jdk(version)\bin
This should solve the problem.
Happy coding!!
Type cmd in program start
Copy and Paste following on dos prompt
set PATH="%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin"
Follow the steps given here
http://www.javaandme.com/
after setting variable, just navigate to your java file directory in your cmd and type
javac "xyx.java"
or if you don't navigate to the directory, then simply specify the full path of java file
javac "/xyz.java"
First thing I wann ans to this imp question: "Why we require PATH To be set?"
Answer : You need to set PATH to compile Java source code, create JAVA CLASS FILES and allow Operating System to load classes at runtime.
Now you will understand why after setting "javac" you can manually compile by just saying
"Class_name.java"
Modify the PATH of Windows Environmental Variable by appending the location till bin directory where all exe file(for eg. java,javac) are present.
Example : ;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin.
only this will work:
path=%set path%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_04\bin
You don't need to do any complex command-line stuff or edit any system code.
You simply have to open Computer, showing all of your disks and open properties.
From there, go to Advanced System Settings and click Environment Variables.
Scroll down in the lower list box and edit Path.
Do not erase anything already there. Put a ; after it and then type in your path. To test, open command prompt and do "javac", it should list around 20 programs.
You would be finished at that point.
By the way, the command to compile is javac -g not just javac.
Happy coding!
Trying this out on Windows 10, none of the command-line instructions worked.
Right clicking on "Computer" then open Properties etc. as the post by Galen Nare above already explains, leads you to a window where you need to click on "new" and then paste the path (as said: without deleting anything else). Afterwards you can check by typing java -version in the command-line window, which should display your current java version, if everything worked out right.
