Window add Java to Path

Question

I used to use My Computer -> Environment variables to set up PATH for Java, but where can I find the same in Windows 8?

Answer 1

Click:

Windows-Key

Type: Control Panel

In the control panel search box, enter:

path

Select

Edit environment variables for your account

or

Edit the system environment variables

as needed.

The environment variable dialog itself is very similar to the one under previous versions of Windows.

Answer 2

Set Environment variable using Command Prompt in easy two steps:

Example of windows SET command:

Step 1. Print the PATH environment variable

C:\>echo %PATH%
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\nodejs\;

Step 2. Add one variable to path ( For example : Java SDK )

// => Path for JDK 8 - C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin
C:\>set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin

Verify the Change

C:\>echo %PATH%
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\nodejs\;
C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin
