hi

[glass coral]

[split lynx]

[glass coral]

which website is this screenshot you posted earlier from

[split lynx]

https://dev.java/learn/getting-started/

this

now what to do next

[glass coral]

alright so you downloaded the jdk and unzipped it to somewhere

right?

[split lynx]

yes

done

[glass coral]

where did you unzip it to

[split lynx]

desktop

where else

[glass coral]

can you send a screenshot of the unzipped folder

[glass coral]

where is your desktop located exactly

C:\Users\username\Desktop?

[split lynx]

yes

[glass coral]

then the command should be set JAVA_HOME=%HOMEPATH%/Desktop/jdk-19.0.2

not what you entered earlier

[split lynx]

ok

done

though nothing happened

[glass coral]

yeah that's expected

can you do echo %JAVA_HOME% and echo %PATH% and send the results?

[glass coral]

okay, that should be ok

next, do set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%/bin;%PATH%

[split lynx]

done

next

[glass coral]

then try to run java -version

[glass coral]

hm

do echo %PATH% again please

[glass coral]

oh wait i see what the issue is

do set PATH=C:%PATH%

then try java -version again

[split lynx]

ok done

[split lynx]

[glass coral]

[glass coral]

[glass coral]

screenshot

[glass coral]

what the fuck

[split lynx]

isn't there any direct method

[glass coral]

try javap

just javap

[split lynx]

nope

why

the fuck

i hv to struggle to just install java

[glass coral]

can you try "C:\Users\divga\Desktop\jdk-19.0.2\bin\java" -version

[hollow grove]

Because you didn't just take an msi from adoptium

[split lynx]

??

what does that mean

[hollow grove]

Admittedly you seem to have found a tutorial that isn't exactly helpful

[split lynx]

that golden helper gave me

the tutorial

chris if i remember

[glass coral]

your jdk isn't where you want it to be

that was the issue

go into your jdk folder again, then put cmd in the address bar and press enter

[split lynx]

now what should i do

[glass coral]

screenshot

[hollow grove]

(Or, you know, just installing IntelliJ and commanding it to install Java)

[glass coral]

also an alternative

[split lynx]

tell me the easier way

[glass coral]

https://adoptium.net/de/download/

[glass coral]

your desktop is in your OneDrive

for some reason

windows moment

[split lynx]

ok

so?

[glass coral]

move the jdk-19.0.2 folder to your home directory

so to C:\Users\divga

out of your desktop

[split lynx]

here?

[glass coral]

one second

[split lynx]

is this faster?

[glass coral]

alright, in this cmd, do cd .., then after that, move jdk-19.0.2 C:\Users\divga\jdk-19.0.2

[glass coral]

maybe

[split lynx]

ok i am downloading it

i don't wanna get a headache

can't download

[glass coral]

oh wait

[split lynx]

??

[glass coral]

https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=19 try this

and pick the .msi thing

[split lynx]

now?

[glass coral]

scroll down

there are downloads

pick the right .msi download for your system and you should be good to go

[split lynx]

where?

[glass coral]

what the fuck

[split lynx]

?/

where is it?

[glass coral]

https://github.com/adoptium/temurin19-binaries/releases/download/jdk-19.0.2%2B7/OpenJDK19U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_19.0.2_7.msi this is the direct download link

does this work

[split lynx]

yes

finnally

dude my net is lagging

a lot

i think i need to rest

night

[remote heath]

lol

https://adoptium.net/ then just download extensions for java in vs code

done

[fallen idol]

I have solution: IntelliJ

[split lynx]

hello

i'm back

@glass coral

@hollow grove @fallen idol

[hollow grove]

For starters, where is Eclipse coming from? Was it named in this discussion?

[split lynx]

[hollow grove]

........ That wasn't an answer

[split lynx]

no no i got it

why the hell is it taking so much time

it failed to install

@hollow grove

@fallen idol

[hollow grove]

I don't know what you're doing

[split lynx]

i just followed this

downloaded and ran it

[hollow grove]

Uh. Okay, we're getting into less normal territory here. How do you know it failed to install?

[split lynx]

it is showing right?

[split lynx]

see this

[glass coral]

that is not the temurin installer

[split lynx]

it redirected me to it

[glass coral]

you downloaded that from dev.java, didn't you

[split lynx]

i think so long back

but it redirected me to it

[glass coral]

which country do you live in

[split lynx]

india

[glass coral]

your internet provider might've censored some sites for some reason

can you visit https://marketplace.visualstudio.com

[split lynx]

yes

[glass coral]

then the installer's just bad

[glass coral]

you already installed this one, right?

[split lynx]

yes

[glass coral]

and it worked

right?

[split lynx]

yes

[glass coral]

open cmd, try java -version again

[glass coral]

there we go

[split lynx]

ok next

[hollow grove]

I don't have the first clue on how to use Java with VSC... And why would anyone even consider doing that?
I hear it's possible to, though not a great experience

[split lynx]

now

what to do next

[split lynx]

it's easier to run programs

@glass coral

[hollow grove]

Ah, I'm glad that it's easier, apparently you're doing it easily right now

[split lynx]

dude what should i do

for the next part

@glass coral

[fallen idol]

Slayer stop pinging

If people want to help, they will

https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/#section=windows

Id suggest downloading IntelliJ, it's a simpler solution to this problem

[red gull]

"Coding pack for Java" lol

Just run the actual installer and not malware

Then get the extensions from the marketplace

So you need to go to the marketplace and find your Java extensions

[remote heath]

@fallen idol how much do you take for teaching advanced java

just wondering

[split lynx]

i hv completed installing temurin

[fallen idol]

i dont even know what that is lol

[split lynx]

[glass coral]

@split lynx please do not dm me

[split lynx]

[glass coral]

[split lynx]
