Java JDK Configuarion

Please follow the below steps

Step1. install Java JDK on your machine

Step2. goto C:\Program Files (x86)\Java and confirm if JDK folder is created other wise open "C:\Program Files\Java". JDK folder must be displayed.

Step3. open JDK and copy the path  (in my case C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_181)

 Step4. set environment variable -
  type "environment" in system search bar (near start menu) and select the Environment Variable

(you may use this technique to launch environment variable setting -> Win + R >> type "sysdm.cpl" >> select Advance Tab >> Click at Environment Variable")

in Environment variable >> System Variable >> create new variable >> 

• Name : JAVA_HOME
• Value: JDK path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_181) 

(Open the JDK folder and confirm  "bin" folder is displayed", then copy the path, path may be look like C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_181 )

Java is configured correctly, let's validate it. 

Open command prompt and type "java -version" if the version message is displayed, that means Java is configured correctly. 

If you are getting error like "Java is not recognized as internal  or external command ..." then reconfigure the Java JDK from above step.
