Java - Installation on Windows

Step 1: Download Java

Go to the official Java website (https://www.java.com/en/download/)
Click the "Download" button for the latest version of Java
Select the appropriate version based on your operating system (e.g., Windows 64-bit)

Step 2: Install Java

Once the download is complete, double-click on the downloaded file to start the installation process
Follow the installation wizard's instructions to complete the installation
After installation, you should see a confirmation message that Java has been successfully installed

Step 3: Set up Environment Variables

Open the "System Properties" window by right-clicking on "This PC" or "My Computer" and selecting "Properties"
Click on the "Advanced system settings" link on the left-hand side
Click on the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom
Under "System variables", click "New" and add a new variable called "JAVA_HOME" with the value set to the directory where Java was installed (e.g., C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_291)
Select the "Path" variable from the list and click "Edit"
Add the path to the "bin" directory of the Java installation (e.g., C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_291\bin) to the list of paths in the "Variable value" field

Step 4: Verify Installation

Open a command prompt and type "java -version" to verify that Java has been installed and configured correctly
If the command returns the version of Java installed on your system, you are ready to start using Java for programming.
