Running Java Programs in Windows 10 Command Prompt

Question

I recently downloaded Java SDK 8.0 on my computer running Windows 10. However, when I looked on the Internet for how to use Java in the Windows 10 Command Prompt, I was only able to get the javac command to work in the prompt. When I tried to run my program, the command prompt said that it could not find the java.exe file. Does anyone know how to make Java work in Windows 10? (I'm using the x86 version of Java.)

Answer 1

打开命令提示符cmd并输入where java ，它将输出java可执行文件所在的位置，然后您可以转到System Propreties>Advanced>Environement Variables> （右键单击计算机，然后单击属性），然后将where java输出添加到PATH变量中用分号分隔;

Answer 2

Java doesn't actually have to be installed . You can run any Java that's available to you.

This is sometimes useful for running Java from a network share.

Try running the java.exe program by fully qualifying it. If it runs that way, your problem is with your PATH .

To illustrate that you can run any Java by qualifing it, I have 9 JDK's and 1 JRE installed:

• 32-bit JDK: Versions 1.4, 5, 6, 7, and 8
• 64-bit JDK: Versions 5, 6, 7, and 8
• 32-bit JRE: Version 8
