I desperately need some help in installing Java on my server on GoDaddy. At first, I followed instructions mentioned here: https://www.tecmint.com/install-apache-tomcat-in-centos because installing Tomcat is my actual goal. I downloaded 'jdk-8u101-linux-x64.rpm' and did everything as mentioned in the tutorial. At the end of it, when I try to test using the command java -version, I get -bash: java: command not found. It didn't work even after logging out and logging in again.
Then I followed instructions as mentioned here: https://in.godaddy.com/help/how-to-install-java-on-ubuntu-12351 and got the same error at the end.
When I try whereis java, I get /usr/bin/java /usr/local/java /usr/share/java. Is it that there are many Java instances and that's why the command isn't executing?
NOTE: The $PATH(/usr/local/jdk/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/cpanel/composer/bin:/usr/local/java/jre1.8.0_25/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin) does include the bin folder of jre.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
Turns out my Java was installed at a different location completely and that wasn't included in the path. This tutorial(https://www.tecmint.com/install-apache-tomcat-in-centos) explains everything in detail except it missed out the point to add Java to the path.
Added that to the path and it's working perfectly since then. Thanks for your help guys :)
I suggest you debug your problem by step by step (Do not follow any step without having success in all the steps before):
Determine which directory java has been installed to. According with the URL you said, it must be /usr/local/java/jre1.8.0_25. Right?
Set the current directory to that path and look for a file named "java", on which you shall have execution permission. If it is not there, java has not been successfully installed. Try re-installing again.
Execute "java -version" from the command line. It should show "1.8.0". If not, the installation is wrong and you should try re-installing too.
Switch to your HOME path, and try to execute "/bin/java". The result should be the same as in point 3.
Ensure that path is correctly included into the PATH environment variable. Try then "java -version". The result should be the same as in point 3. If not, check the PATH variable.
the problem is that I upgraded to Windows 10 and now I'm installing my tools to programming and now that I installed the JDK 7 of Java, when I try to use in the cmd the command:
- "javac"
The result of this is: "javac" is not recognized as an internal or external command...
But I was edited the PATH with the correct link of jdk, because when I use "java", it is ok.
Now, I tried in the console with this command: PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin"
And when I executed the command "javac" it works, but now, when I open other console, it doesn't work, or when I restart the console, this command is not recognized.
What could be the problem?
java is part of the JRE, not the JDK.
You need to add the JDK bin to the system PATH, in
"Control Panel" | System | Advanced | "Environment Variables"
Her's how I configure System variable on Windows 10 :
I am totally new to java and spent hours trying to get the problems with PATH and CLASSPATH worked out. There was one person who said to restart the command prompt after you modify the environment variables; that was it for me. While you are testing different configurations, make sure to relaunch the command prompt before testing. It seems like there are at least 2 different ways of setting this up. I went with the following:
1) In System Variables, add
JAVA_HOME = c:\program files (x86)\java\jdk1.8.0_121
2) In System Variables, add the following to existing Path...
%JAVA_HOME%\bin
That's it.
No need for quotes around anything. No double forward slashes or anything else. I think it would also work if I removed the java_home variable and just listed the explicit path to bin in the PATH variable, but I'm not touching it again now that it finally works.
After adding C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_73\bin to the system variables I turned off my command prompt and opened another one. Then it worked.
Maybe a bit late, but i had same problem.
Click on "Move up" button for Java path and move it at top.
It fixed problem for me
just add C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_80\bin as the path in environmental variables. no need to add java.exe and javac.exe to that path. IT WORKS
I added below Path in environment variable
;%JAVA_HOME%/bin instead of %JAVA_HOME%\bin
in my case , it fix the problem
I had the same issue on Windows 10 - the java -version command was working but javac -version was not. There are three things I did:
(1) I downloaded the latest jdk (not the jre) and installed it. Then, I added the jdk/bin path tan o environment variable. In my case, it was C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10\bin. I did not need to add the ; for Windows 10.
(2) Move this path to the top of all the other paths.
(3) Delete any other Java paths that might exist.
Test the java -version and javac -version commands again. Voila!
For some reason it worked for me to add quotation marks to the path folder on windows 10. not C:\Program Files\Java\jdk 1.8.0_111\bin, but "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk 1.8.0_111\bin".
now i got it finally! make sure that there are no spaces before and after the path and put the semi-colon on both sides without spaces
The PATH is for current user, instead you can add a CLASSPATH and below link would help you more PATH and CLASSPATH
I added below Path in environment variable
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91\bin
and then compiled the program but got the error then I restarted the system and again compiled the program
This time it worked :)
Add java path to environment variables and move it to the top of all the paths available there. It worked for me.
To be sure about your path, you can use double quotes " to locate the path or if you are in Windows, you can browse to path to select "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\bin" folder.
in the search window type 'environment variables' this should give you a link to editing the variables. On the variables editing page there is an upper section and a lower section in the lower section add NEW,type path C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10\bin this worked great for me and it finds the compiler all the time.
Kind of beating a dead horse now but, I want to clarify one thing that may not be quite so obvious. Yes indeed you need to edit the PATH environment variable as already stated many times. The key for me was to edit the PATH under SYSTEM variables. I had inadvertently edited the PATH under USER variables. Why did this matter? On my machine I have to log in as an Administrator to edit environment variables. So editing the User variables was not helping because I run the command prompt under my login (non-admin) account. Grrr!
Also, I found that closing the command prompt window, and re-opening it after the PATH variable update was required. Changing the order of the values, adding semi-colons, etc. didn't make a difference for me.
Cheers
If you have set all PATH variables correctly after installation, just restart it.
I had the same problem, I had also installed new Windows7 OS then I upgraded it to Win 10. Then i started setup necessary tools like IntelliJ, Java jdk,jre, eclipse so on.
In cmd, java -version worked but javac compiler got unrecognized. I checked and all good, the files in the folders, path are correct and so on.
I restarted and checked it again in cmd ,it worked.
what I did is:
I typed ; accidentally in front in the path variable and then hit OK, after this if I again edit it was nowhere going to the same page as earlier, it opened a new page as defined for user variables and then I was able to remove double quotes in front of the PATH VARIABLE.
Everything worked fine then. :)
Did it just now.
Add
PATH = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\bin
in Advanced system setting. Then Choose Environment Variable.
for windows 10 Users Use Java path( JDK Bin location) AS "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9.0.1\bin" it will work.
Points to remember, do as the image shows. Move the highlighted bar up using move up button, this will help.
I have a laptop with a Windows 7 OS 64-bit. I'm trying to set up the Java compiler so when I type in "javac" in the command prompt, it will compile the Java file I want. I've had it done on my laptop before but someone did it for me. They went to the Environment Variables under the Advanced System settings, then edited the "PATH" so that it would recognized the compiler. So I did the exact same thing, I copied the file location of javac from ProgramFiles, and put it in PATH. It still does not compile my Java files. It says:
"javac" is not recognized as an internal or external command.
And before you ask, I did search through other forums on this site to see if there was an answer that can help. There are similar situations to mine but the solutions did not help me.
As of now, this is the file path that I tried copying into PATH:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin This leads to a file marked javac. So far I'm still unsuccessful with setting up the compiler.
It looks correct. Did you restart the Command prompt every time you changed the PATH variable ? Also there's supposed to be only one path variable, so you're supposed to edit the existing one, entries are separated by a semi-colon (;).
I am trying to run my java program from command line.
I read an article about setting up classpath, but I get an error of javac is
not recognized as internal or external command. What should I do? (I dont want to set a permanent CLASSPATH)
This is what I have done in my command line
D:\user> set path=%path%;C:\Program Files\Java\1.7.0_07\bin
D:\user> cd testing
D:\user\testing> javac firstProgram.java
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Thank you
Assuming that the PATH is correct1, the most likely cause is that you have a JRE installation ... and a JRE doesn't include a java compiler. You need a JDK installation if you want to compile from the command line.
(You can confirm this by looking in the C:\Program Files\Java\1.7.0_07\bin directory to see if it contains a javac.exe file. A JRE won't ...)
Where can I find the Java compiler to download..
You need to download one of the JDK installers; see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
1 - I don't think quotes are required in a PATH variable on Windows. At least that's what various examples that Google found for me seem to imply. But I've never really understood the logic behind quoting in Windows ...
Its an issue related to Program Files.
First make sure that your JDK Folder is installed in Program Files or Program Files(x86) or any other folder.
Then you should use the path of bin folder in " ". Because command prompt does break the string at space. When you will write it in " " then it will take is as a whole String.
You try these commands
set path=%path%;"C:\Program Files\Java\1.7.0_07\bin"
or
set path=%path%;"C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\1.7.0_07\bin"
It might help you to get out of this.
Better do it in Environmental variable and check it!
try below command is recognized from command prompt
C:\Program Files\Java\1.7.0_07\bin\javac ab.java
This is just to verify your javac
Here's how you can set the path temporary, meaning if you close and reopen "command prompt" you will have to set the path again.
Assuming the path is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin
TYPE IN C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin AND HIT ENTER
that's it.
The commands D:\user> set path=%path%;C:\Program Files\Java\1.7.0_07\bin works well for me
Adding few more information to this:
Please check the version of JDK and JRE installed on your computer. Recently I faced the same problem even after setting the PATH. It gives the error "javac - command is not recognised"
Solution is there must be similar versions of JDK as well as JRE
E.g.: JDK 1.7.75 along with JRE 1.7.75
I dad left Java since so long as a result now it happens that sometimes I forget the simple things and used to behave like a Stupid.
To run a Simple Java program say "Hello World" written in Notepad what do I have to Do?
I know the commands javac "Filename.java" and java "Filename" respectively to run it from the Command prompt.
But When I try to do that I got this message:
"javac is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
and I could not Complie the file.
I hava little idea that we need to do some stuffs like setting the classpath or perhaps the path evnironment variables but it was exactly that I don't remember.
Can anybody please help me?
Thanks,
david
Add a JAVA_HOME env variable to point to the jdk installation directory
To your PATH env variable, add %JAVA_HOME%\bin
Add a CLASSPATH env variable to point to %JAVA_HOME%\lib.
remember to open a new console window and try running javac and java - everything should be fine now.
1) create JAVA_HOME environmental variable set value to java home directory
e.g. c:\program files\java\jdk1.5;
1) set PATH in environmental variable to your java bin directory
e.g. %JAVA_HOME%\bin
and to check classpath is set correctly run javac command on cmd
and this link will help to create and run simple java application

You need the JDK to be able to run javac.
I suggest you first start coding in eclipse, it provides all the environment set up for you. Once you get good with coding, you can try command prompt compiling and running. That way, you will be confident with language first and then go into the nitty-gritties of the environment and set up.
Its better to use any java IDE either eclipse or netBeans Download Link
But in case if you like to go through Command prompt method, then u need to set the paths. (These are the variables for your OS, that used to know where your commands e.g. java or javac etc are located). Hope from other answers you set the paths.
Good luck
