Where is the Keytool application?

Question

keytool is a tool to manage (public/private) security keys and certificates and store them in a Java KeyStore file (stored_file_name.jks).
It is provided with any standard JDK/JRE distributions.
You can find it under the following folder %JAVA_HOME%\bin.

keytool is part of the standard java distribution.

In a windows 64-bit machine, you would normally find the jdk at

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\bin

It is used for managing keys and certificates you can sign things with, in your case, probably a jar file.

If you provide more details of what you need to do, we could probably give you a more specific answer.

For me it turned out to be in c/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_25/bin (Windows 8). A more general answer to this question is that it will most likely be in the bin sub directory of wherever your jdk is installed.

keytool it's a binary file into the JDK folder ... just add your JDK as environment variable by adding the following line

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\bin

If you are working with a Mac... the keytool is part of the Java SDK and can be found in the following location /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/[VERSION].jdk/Contents/Home/bin/keytool

here: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin it is an exe keytool.exe
