I did a clean install of Windows 7 today - after that I installed the Java JDK and Android Studio. Now I have the JAVA_HOME environment variable problem that many before me had.

I have set JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25

But everyone seems to have a PATH system variable where they can add the path to Java JDK, but in my case, I don't have a PATH system variable.

From all the searching I have found, all solutions expects you to have the PATH variable. However, I found this link that describes how to set a PATH variable, but I don't understand it.

  • Last time I fiddled with those on Windows the JAVA_HOME variable was defined in a different place (GUI-wise), and the other variables, including PATH was below. You might want to clarify "don't have". Are you using a terminal/cmd? – keyser Dec 26 '14 at 20:38
  • You will have a `PATH` environment variable whether you set it or not. Windows has a default path if you don't set one. Without a PATH variable you wouldn't be able to run any commands and your computer would be unusable. – Peter Lawrey Dec 26 '14 at 20:38
  • if you have set JAVA_HOME correctly, type `echo %JAVA_HOME%` in command window and it should return the path. Otherwise, you did not do it right. – Jimmy Dec 26 '14 at 20:41
