How do I setup Java?

JossephKerr

I am trying to get into Minecraft Fabric Mod Development and got into my first snag as Java is not in Path or Home I tried following some of the things said in previous comments and even looked at the Help Center but no results I did however somehow managed to add this:

`JDK_VERSION="17"

case "$JDK_VERSION" in
8) JDK_PATH="/usr/lib/openjdk-8/bin"
;;
11) JDK_PATH="/usr/lib/openjdk-11/bin"
;;
17) JDK_PATH="/usr/lib/openjdk-17/bin"
;;
*) echo "JDK_VERSION $JDK_VERSION is not an option"
;;
esac

if [[ -d $JDK_PATH ]]; then
export PATH=$JDK_PATH:$PATH
fi`

into my bashrc and manage to get it working, but Java commands are not present in terminal.

Staudey Thanks, but that doesn't apply to what I needed to do, that is for running an application not getting everything set up for mod development.

to setup java you should install openjdk-11 then add it to the PATH, as @Staudey pointed out, the link provides info about it.
Solus does not add Java to the PATH environment variable by default.
This page would help you to setup java correctly: https://help.getsol.us/docs/user/software/development/java/

I did the method: "Add /path/to/jdk/bin to your PATH environment variable."
export PATH=/path/to/jdk/bin:$PATH
this is temporal and removed on shut downs.

To make it permanent added this export PATH=/path/to/jdk/bin:$PATH into .bashrc it is loaded on reboot, that way I don't have to export it every time.

nolan That is a way better explanation of what is going on than the Help Center.
