Java file not found in cmd [SOLVED]

Hi friends 🖐🏼 I'm beginner in Java and I installed JDK in win 10. I changed path and JAVA_HOME but when I open cmd and type javac hello.java it shows "file not found". How can I fix this problem?

if it shows file not found instead of command not recogonized then probably java is installed correctly but trying in wrong directory

Shakiba Majd probably you have opened your command prompt in wrong place .. just do as follows.. open file explorer and go to the directory in which your file "hello.java" contains .. affer that in the address bar type cmd this will open command prompt in that directory after that try compiling ... leme see if that works.. please provide a screenshot if that doesn't work too...

Maybe java is not completely installed. You should try to delete the java that is installed on your device, and try to reinstall it. Let the installation gets complete then try to run your code.

You have to enter the full current path of the file. javac full_current_path/hello.java

Shakiba Majd Open Environment Variable Select path Add your JDK path and this path should be like C://Program Files//java/bin Then try to compile and run Java class
