Once again you chose the “Next” button the installation display another progress bar in front of you, and this progress shows the installation of the JRE files. 

After the JRE file installation, the installation of JDK gets completed. Click on the “Close” button on this screen to finish the setup. There is no need for registration of the JDK with Oracle.

After complete installation of JDK write a Program in Notepad and run that program using the command prompt. Open the Notepad and write following programme.

public class Hello {

public static void main( string[] args) {

System.out.println(“ Hello World !!!”);

}

}

After writing the complete program in Notepad save the program as Hello.java in your directory C:\java. In Java, while you save the program the program name same as the class name and extension is always .java. Now perform the compilation on your program in the Hello.java file using tool javac. Now open the command prompt and write the following command.

Cd C:\Java

And then type the following command

JavaC hello.java

The above mention command invokes the Java compiler code in the Hello.java file into bytecode. If your programme does not contain the single error, then Java compiler quits silently. After compilation, the programme generates hello.class file which is bytecode from Hello.java file. Type command dir on command prompt then it will display .class file and now type command java Hello once you type the above command you find the output Hello World on your command prompt.
