Java is a programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995.

Lab Objective: Configuration to run Java app

Step1: To run the JDK installer

• Start the JDK 11 installer by double-clicking the installer’s icon or file name in the download location.
• Follow the instructions provided by the installation wizard.

Step2: Setting the PATH Environment Variable

• It is useful to set the PATH variable permanently for JDK 11 so that it is persistent after rebooting.
• If you do not set the PATH variable, then you must specify the full path to the executable file every time that you run it. For example: C:> “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11\bin\javac” MyClass.java

Step3: To set the PATH variable permanently, add the full path of the jdk-11\bin directory to the PATH variable

Select Control Panel and then System. Click Advanced and then Environment Variables. Add the location of the bin folder of the JDK installation to the PATH variable in System Variables.

Note: The following is a typical value for the PATH variable: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11\bin"
