JAVA environment PATH

Cyhaxor · 11-03-2007, 09:42 AM

Ok I have installed the java JDK under /home/cyhaxor/java/jdk1.6.0_03

How I set the environment path so every time I type javac or java in terminal recognize the command?

I tried:

Code:

export PATH=/home/cyhaxor/java/jdk1.6.0_03/bin:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME="/home/cyhaxor/java/jdk1.6.0_03"
export CLASSPATH=:/home/cyhaxor/java/jdk1.6.0_03

In terminal but is not working

Thanks in advance,
Cyhaxor

Try doing it this way: export PATH=$PATH:(path/to/directory/here).

Please define 'not working'. This can be many things, and my guess right now is that it has nothing to do with the environment variables you list.

Is not working - It still not recognize the command javac as an environment command.. I have to go in /home/cyhaxor/java/jdk1.6.0_03/bin to get the compiler working...

If your path to java is /home/cyhaxor/java/jdk1.6.0_03/bin, try this out:

Code:

export PATH=$PATH:/home/cyhaxor/java/jdk1.6.0_03/bin

And from the same terminal session, type javac or simply jav[TAB] (if tab completion is enabled!!!). You should get your solution.

Here are my own entries. I haven't bothered adjusting the paths to your needs so you'll have to do that yourself.

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
export J2RE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre
export JAVA_BIN=$JAVA_HOME/bin
export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME:$JAVA_HOME/lib
export PATH=$JAVA_BIN:$PATH
