How to install JDK 1.7.0 and how to set path and classpath variables

JDK 1.7
How to Install
Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.7 or SE 7, which is freely available from Sun Microsystems (now part of
Oracle), is needed for writing Java programs.

JDK can be downloaded from the Java mother site @ http://java.sun.com

(or) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html).

How To Install JDK 1.7.0

JDK or JRE?

JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is needed for running Java programs.

JDK (Java Development Kit), which includes JRE plus the development tools (such as compiler and
debugger), is need for writing Java programs.

Since you are supposed to write Java Programs, install JDK (which includes JRE).

STEP 0: Un-install Older Version of JDK/JRE

If you have previously installed older version of JDK/JRE, un-install them.

Run "Control Panel" "Program and Features" Un-install programs such as "Java SE Development Kit" and "Java SE
Runtime". (If you are not sure whether you have older versions of JDK, check!)

STEP 1: Download JDK

1. Goto Java SE download site @ http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads

/index.html.
2. Click the "Download" button under "JDK" of "Java SE 7".
3. Choose your operating platform, e.g., Windows x86 (for 32-bit Windows OS - "jdk-7u2-windows-
i586.exe" 84MB); or Windows x64 (for 64-bit Windows OS).

STEP 2: Install JDK/JRE

Run the downloaded installer, which installs both the JDK (Java Development Kit) and JRE (Java
Runtime). By default, the JDK and JRE will be installed into directories "C:\Program Files\java
\jdk1.7.0" and "C:\Program Files\java\jre7", respectively.

here i am refering to JDK installed directory as <JAVA_HOME>

After downloading JDK 1.7.0,just click on it ,you will get like this ,as shown below

Now click Environment Variables, here variables are divided into two sections

User variables : whenever it is modified the corresponding language only effected.

Ex: Class path , in this example class variables are always for .class values

System variables : whenever it is modified not only a single language, corresponding all languages are
only effected.

Ex:path, here the variable is searching for .exe files

click new button

JAVA: How to install JDK 1.7.0 and how to set path and classpath variables http://corejavaforyou.blogspot.in/2012/05/how-to-install-jdk-170.html

variable name = classpath

variable value = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0

one more environment variable ,we have to set for Java home directory similar to path and
class path.

click new button

for java home

variable name = java_home

variable value = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0.

Now click ok for twice.

now for system variables ,let us set path

click new

variable name = path

variable value = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin

IF U WANT TO VERIFY JAVA IS INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY OR NOT ,JUST GO TO COMMAND PROMT,TYPE

javac if u see java compiling commands like below ,then u have installed it successfully.

Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful. Everything was thoroughly explained. I would just caution others that if they are
going to download a newer version of the IDK the path names might be slightly different.
EX:
for me, I wrote ...\jdk1.7.0_21 instead of ...\jdk1.7.0

Just check the actual folder names with your particular version of the IDK.
