I need to update my version of Java to 1.8. I install it successfully, but when I run... 

java -version
java version "1.6.0_65"

I know this is something to do with changing my bash path but, after hours of googling, I'm pretty lost as to how to go about doing that. And I also can't find the location of the new version.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your JAVA_HOME needs to be set to the new java install. I'm not on my Mac at the moment, but it should be located in your .bash_profile.
