Checking Java

Before anything else, check that the correct version of Java has been installed.

To do this :

  • Open the terminal window
  • Type the following command java -version
  • You should see something like this :
    cal:~ callas$ java -version
    java version "1.8.0 73"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_73-b02)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.73-b02, mixed mode)
