This section describes how to install JDK on the Windows and Linux OSs and verify that the installation is successful.

Installing JDK in Windows

Download the JDK file from the official website. JDK 8 is used as an example. Click DOWNLOAD below JDK.
After the JDK file is downloaded, install the JDK as prompted. For example, install the JDK to the C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131 directory on the local PC.

Configure Java environment variables.

Right-click Computer, choose Properties > Advanced system settings.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment Variables.

Set JAVA_HOME, PATH, and CLASSPATH (case-insensitive) in the System variables area. See Table 1.

If the three variables already exist, click Edit. If not, click New.

**Table 1** JAVA environment variables
Variable	Value	Description
JAVA_HOME	JDK installation path	Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_1311
PATH	%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin	Add it to the end of the original PATH value.
CLASSPATH	.;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\dt.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;	There is a dot (.) in front of the value.

Open the CLI and run java -version. The Java environment variables have been configured if the Java version is displayed.

Installing JDK in Linux

Run the vi /etc/profile command to open the profile file.

Add the following content to the end of the file:

#set java environment
export JAVA_HOME=/home/vod/jdk/jdk1.8.0_191

export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/dt.jar:$JRE_HOME/lib/tools.jar
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Run the :wq! command to save the file and exit.
