I installed a Linux virtual machine, and downloaded JDK on it. Then I did:

$ export PATH=~/jdk1.8.0_191/bin:$PATH

Then

$ which java

And it said that I have no java in PATH. I checked the bin file in my JDK and there is a file named java in there. What do I do? My operating system is CentOS 6 64-bit, and I downloaded the JDK for Linux x64.

I also tried the export without the :$PATH, and then which java, and it still says there is no java in there.

What do you get when you run `~/jdk1.8.0_191/bin/java -version`? – ernest_k Dec 31 '18 at 16:38

Try replacing ~ with the full path – Mad Physicist Dec 31 '18 at 16:43
Also, if the file is called JAVA, If won't work. Linux is case sensitive. – Mad Physicist Dec 31 '18 at 16:44
i will suggest add `JAVA_HOME` and then add it to `PATH` – Ryuzaki L Dec 31 '18 at 16:45
I got it! The problem is actually that I followed an online tutorial, and the ~/ led me to the wrong directory. Everything worked fine after that. Still thanks! – Maggie Mao Dec 31 '18 at 16:47
@MaggieMao Could you please unselect my answer? It's totally wrong – Mad Physicist Dec 31 '18 at 18:10
@Mad Physicist Okay I unselected it – Maggie Mao Jan 02 '19 at 14:00
