  • The solution to this exact problem is detailed in the very first chapter of the official tutorial: [Getting Started: Common Problems and Their Solutions](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/problems/index.html).

Ok,here's what you gotta do. Go to the bin folder where you have java installed. If you havent changed the path during installation, it should be this path:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\bin

Do confirm anyway, as the version may differ & so will the folder name.

Copy this path, including bin.Now,

->right click on My computer, go to Properties.
->Select Advanced System Settings
->Click on Environment Variables
->Under System Variables,select path, & then click on edit.
->keep the previous path as it is,add a semicolon after that & paste the path you copied earlier.

Click ok/apply & you're done.Now you can run all java commands from any directory on your computer.Once again, dont remove the existing path, you gotta add this new one to the existing one,seperate using semi-colon.
