Installing JDK

To install Java Development Kit (JDK), follow these steps:

  1. Download the latest version of JDK from the Oracle website (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html).
  2. Run the installer file and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. During the installation process, you may be prompted to specify the installation location. Choose a location on your machine where you want to install JDK.
  4. After the installation is complete, open the command prompt and type java -version to verify that JDK is installed and working properly.
  5. Finally, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the installation location of JDK. This is usually done by adding the following line to your system's environment variables:

JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_251 (or the location where you installed JDK)

  1. You may also need to add the JDK's bin directory to your system's PATH variable so that you can run the java command from anywhere in your system.

And that's it! You have successfully installed JDK on your machine.
