Installing Java

Installing the latest Java JDK

Although the game tools come with a preinstalled Java, it's helpful to download a specific version.

Go to the Adoptium release archive page and filter to your system. Download the .zip folder. It is recomended to have a Java folder, with specfifc version folders inside of it.

Next, extract the zip file by right clicking and hitting extract here. You can delete the .zip file. Navigate to the /bin folder and copy the path location

To add this to your path, search for Edit the system environment variables. Hit environment variables. search under the system variables pane for path. Double click. Add the copied path to the list. Hit ok

Next, create a varible under the system variable pane by hitting New. name this JAVA_HOME, and have the path be the path to the first folder of the java version you installed (the previous path without the /bin)
