Java Development Kit

There are setups we need to do to develop our applications using java programming languages. No matter how many IDEs are your favorite among these installations, running java commands on your machine requires the steps in this article.

Java Development Kit (JDK) installation and definition of java environment variables are indispensable for Android application development, web programming using Java Frameworks or to develop test automation applications with java. For this reason, I will be transferring the installations that should be installed and defined on our computer step by step in this article.

First, we download the JAVA 11 version to our computer and install it. When I did this setup on my computer, the latest java version was released as 11, but you can continue on this version if you want, or you can move forward with the latest version, it doesn’t matter. Sometimes you may encounter problems with dependencies in the latest versions, so I recommend you to move forward with jdk versions 8,9,10,11.

You can check whether there is a jdk version on your computer from the java folder under Program Files. If there are jre and jdk folders, it means that jdk is installed on your computer.
