well, you can just unzip the file with the ZipFile API?
finite blade
well, you can just unzip the file with the `ZipFile` API?
and once that is done how do i tell the pc to use that directory?
like i already unzipped it and it works for that
but if i open my cmd and run node, it doesnt work
idk how to set the environment variable or smth

add it to the PATH? This depends on your OS
finite blade
add it to the `PATH`? This depends on your OS
how can i do that with java?
lunar shadow
on Windows, you could use the setx command
you can execute that with Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) but first try from your command line
oh and it might require admin permissions

yeah ik how to execute cmd idk how i should set the node path
lunar shadow
and for linux, maybe create a script in /usr/bin or whatever
finite blade
can you show me an example command to set the node path?
lunar shadow
yeah ik how to execute cmd idk how i should set the node path
On Windows, there's a command called setx which sets environment variables
finite blade

so "nodepath" should be my path right?
lunar shadow
If you want to set it for all users, you might need to add /m and run Java as an administrator
lunar shadow
so "nodepath" should be my path right?
the path to your node.js runtime
I assume the executable are in a subfolder called bin
finite blade
mmh
lunar shadow
and remainingPath should be the remainder of the PATH
finite blade
doesnt seem
lunar shadow
I guess
lunar shadow
then you don't need the \\bin
but don't forget the ; I guess
and for Linux, maybe create a link somewhere
you could do that with the ln command I guess
finite blade
thx i'll try all out and tell you if i still need some help alr?
lunar shadow
good luck
finite blade
