No Java installation was detected while sbt update

Question

Hi was trying to run sbt update comand in cygwin and i get the error "No java installation was detected" even tough i have java installed .

My java in present in C:\Program Files\Java

My sbt is installed in C:\Program Files(x86)\sbt

I found one similar question over here in StackOverflow but i couldnt resolve it.

Any help?

Thanks , Vishesh

Tru ```sudo``` or doing it via root user. Sometimes brew or another install utility installs sbt as root . — Siddhartha, Nov 03 '17 at 05:09

Set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to where your JDK is For eg:

JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79

Follow this steps:

Variable Name: JAVA_HOME Variable Value: C:\Program Files\Java\<JAVA_FOLDER>

Change the <JAVA_FOLDER> with the one you're using

To skip steps 1 and 2, I just use Start Menu's search functionality. It usual the first one selected when I type `edit s`(ystem) – SGM1 Jan 19 '16 at 16:39
JDK location is in PATH, and JAVA_HOME is set correctly. Problem persists. Also DOS utility app findstr.exe is found. It appear SBT shell ignores the PATH env variable – kevin aubuchon Dec 10 '19 at 01:50
