I assume this is some sort of linux. This how to do it in ubuntu. http://www.wikihow.com/Set-Up-Your-Java_Home-Path-in-Ubuntu

I don't believe windows needs a setup other than running the installer. Also look into eclipse as it is my favorite IDE for Java and super easy to use. Sounds like you're new to Java.

Apologies I should have noted it is indeed windows. I downloaded netbeans as recommended by Pankaj and it seems to work fine. Thank you for your answer anyway – Cheeseburger Jan 08 '16 at 14:29

Install netbeans that will provide you an excellent IDE to begin with Java. Its easy to use and awesome IDE.

Download netbeans with Java SE version which you will find on their download page.
