Tip: Before starting this chapter, first complete the previous chapter Working With Files (including the challenge).
In this chapter we will setup the Java Development Kit (JDK) on your computer. The JDK is needed for programming (coding) in the Java language.
The setup only involves three steps: 😊
- Install
- Setting JAVA_HOME variable
- Adding the JDK to PATH variable
"JAVA_HOME" and "PATH" are system environment variables. We will learn more shortly.
