System PATH variable

• It takes about a minute to install. Confirm all the


suggested alternatives during the installation.
• The normal installation (Microsoft Windows) would
be into a new folder on your C: drive
• If the system does not know where the javac
command is, either the JDK is not properly
installed or the system does not know where it is
installed.
• You may amend the system PATH variable so that
it include the JDK into the path by typing this DOS
command: set path=c:\j2sdk1.4.2_12\bin; %path%
