Well i tried to start with react native when suddenly i got an error that java compiler couldn't be found. So i searched and find something about java_home which i fixed but still the compiler isnt found. After testing in the cmd prompt javac -version couldn't it recognise any javac. Then i looked in the bin folder in java jre and realised that the javac doesnt even exist. Is this some kind of bug or should i reinstall it or something.

You need to install JDK – inquisitive Jan 05 '19 at 19:34

i think JDK is installed aswell, the folder is right under the JRE folder, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10.0.2 – Tobbin2 Jan 05 '19 at 19:55

Try installing jdk as jre is for executing already compiled code. But for a whole new compilation you require a jdk that is development tools of java development toolkit. As javac.exe is a part of jdk not jre.

The image shows a JRE. javac is java compiler, if it's required you need to install JDK.

use cmd first `cd \filepath..` to your java file then `set path =..jdk\bin ` then `javac filename.java ` – Himanshu Jan 05 '19 at 20:07
