Setting JAVA_HOME PATH on MAC

1. Open Terminal
2. Confirm you have JDK by typing “which java”. It should show something like /usr/bin/java.
3. Check you have the needed version of Java, by typing “java -version”.
   • JAVA_HOME is essentially the full path of the directory that contains a sub-directory named bin which in turn contains the java
   • For Mac OSX – it is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_112.jdk/Contents/Home
4. Set JAVA_HOME using this command in Terminal:

   • export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_112.

     jdk/Contents/Home

   • export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME

5. Lastly apply these changes by re-sourcing .bash_profile:

   • source ~/.bash_profile

6. To verify if the PATH is set right :
   1. Open Terminal and Type : $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version
   2. Should give output something as below :

java version “1.8.0_112”
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.112-b16, mixed mode)
