'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. atom editor

Question

I am using atom and I installed the "script" package to run java directly, but every time I use Ctrl Shift B to run a java file it shows this error message:

'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I did add the jdk to environment variable 'path'.

This is the code I am trying to run:

 package script;
    public class script {
        public static void main (String []args)
        {
            System.out.println ("Hello world");
        }
    }

What could be missing here?

Answer 1

You need to ensure c:\windows\system32 is still in your path.

You have probably set your path to the JDK, rather than appending the path to the JDK.

You want something like:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]
