Append Java compiler location to the System Path.
| OS | Output |
|---|---|
| Windows | Append the string C:Program FilesJavajdk11.0.11in at the end of the system variable, Path. |
| Linux | export PATH = $PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin/ |
| Mac | not required |
Verify Java installation using the command java -version as explained above.
