JDK, javac not recognized

Question

I've recently installed java and have added it to my PATH Variables on my Windows 10 machine.

JDK in the System Path Variables

However I receive the error that javac is not present in the directory when trying to compile my program. This is probably a simple question but the other answers I have found are for people who don`t have the path at all.

Error of no javac

I would appreciate any and all help you can provide.

Answer 1

You need to add the path of your JDK to the Path variable not in the variable Java Developement Kit .

You can also reference other variables in your path variable:

|----------------------|-----------------------|
| Variable             | Value                 |
------------------------------------------------
| JAVA_HOME            | C:\Program...         |
------------------------------------------------
| Path                 | ...%JAVA_HOME%\bin;.. |
------------------------------------------------
