Is Java installed properly?
You can check if you have installed Java correctly by:
• Running the command java -version from the command line.When you enter the following codes into your command line:
javac
java
java -version
If you receive a message that stating that ’java’ is not recognized... then you do not have Java installed properly. If you have Java installed then running the command java -version will show the version number of the Java installation.
