how to find location of java jdk

To find the location of the Java Development Kit (JDK) on your system, you can use the java_home command in a terminal or command prompt.

On Windows, you can open a command prompt and type the following command:

echo %JAVA_HOME%

On macOS or Linux, you can open a terminal and type the following command:

echo $JAVA_HOME

This will print the location of the JDK to the terminal or command prompt.

If the JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set, you can try searching for the JDK installation directory on your system. On Windows, the JDK is typically installed in the C:\Program Files\Java directory. On macOS, the JDK is typically installed in the /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines directory. On Linux, the JDK is typically installed in the /usr/lib/jvm directory.

You can also use the which command to find the location of the java executable, which is usually located in the bin directory of the JDK installation.

For example:

which java

This will print the location of the java executable to the terminal or command prompt.

Keep in mind that the location of the JDK may vary depending on your system and how it was installed. If you are having trouble finding the JDK on your system, you can try searching for it or consulting the documentation for your specific JDK installation.
