On Windows, the JDK installation normally handles this for you by placing a copy of java.exe in C:\WINNT\system32.

On other platforms, ensure the following is in your PATH variable:

/java_home/bin

where:

java_home

Is the absolute path where the JDK is installed.

You can execute the following at a command prompt or shell.
