How can I solve the issue related to java paths?

194 Asked by Aalapprabhakaran in Java , Asked on Jan 3, 2024

Currently I am deploying a Java-based application on a server whose name is Linux. However, when I was trying to run the application, I encountered a scenario where an error occurred related to Java paths. Explain to me how can I set the “JAVA_HOME” environment variable in Linux and modify the system’s PATH to ensure the application runs smoothly.

To set “JAVA_HOME” in the context of Linux, you should first locate your Java installation path. Once you find export “JAVA_HOME” by opening the terminal and entering:

  “export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/your/java/installation”

For modifying the system’s PATH to include Java, you can add the following line to your “.bashrc” or “.bash_profile”:

  “export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Then after, to ensure changes take effect immediately. You can execute the following:

  “source ~/.bashrc”

The above steps would configure the “JAVA_HOME” and will add the Java executable directory to the system’s PATH which allows the system to locate the Java installation for your application.

Here is the combined coding analogy given:

# Find your Java installation path

# Example: /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64

Export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/your/java/installation

# Update PATH to include Java

Export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

# Apply changes immediately

Source ~/.bashrc

You can replace”/path/to your/java/install/action” with your actual path where you want to install java.
