Java Install

Here’s a step-by-step guide to install Java, create a Java file, compile it, and run it:

• Install Java
• Create a Java File
• Compile the Java File
• Run the Java Program

Install Java:

Download the JDK (Java Development Kit):

• Go to the Oracle JDK Download Page or use OpenJDK.
• Download the appropriate version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

Install the JDK:

• Follow the installation instructions for your OS.
• Make sure to note the installation path (e.g., C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-XX).

Set Environment Variables (Windows):

• Add the bin folder of your JDK to the system PATH:
• Go to System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables.
• Add C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-XX\bin to the Path variable.
• Verify installation by opening Command Prompt and typing:java -version.

Create a Java File:

• Open a text editor (Notepad, VS Code, or IntelliJ IDEA).
• Write a simple Java program
• Save the file as Main.java in a directory of your choice.

Compile the Java File:

• Open a terminal or Command Prompt.
• Navigate to the directory where your Main.java file is located: cd path\to\Your\file
• Compile the Java file using the javac compiler: javac Main.java
• This will generate a Main.class file in the same directory.

Run the Java Program:

• Run the compiled Java program using the java command: java Main
• Output: Hello world
