HOW TO SWITCH JAVA VERSION and SET JAVA_HOME PATH ON MAC OS M1 M2

STEP 1 : Open Terminal. Check java version java -version

STEP 2 : Check java compiler version javac -version

STEP 3 : Run command /usr/libexec/java_home -V This will show the available versions

STEP 4 : Goto folder - /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines This should have folders of all Java/JDK available on the system

STEP 5 : Goto the folder of JAVA you want and get the path of its home folder (which has bin folder)

STEP 6 : On terminal run the following commands

echo $JAVA_HOME

echo $JAVA_HOME

To set the path permanently

echo $SHELL

Note: if you are using older mac os, for the command echo $SHELL you may get result like .bash_profile
Then your default profile is bash and the changes you will make will be in file .bash_profile and not .zshrc
So you can replace in the below commands .zshrc with .bash_profile

pwd

open .zshrc

nano .zshrc | vi .zshrc

open .zshrc

Add the following:

Save and close

source .zshrc

STEP 7 : Open a new terminal and check

java -version
javac -version
echo $JAVA_HOME

Before I found your video I was struggling tremendously trying to figure out my java issue. I am learning Salesforce development and I was stuck at step 1 trying to get my VS Code connected and operable with Salesforce DX due to incompatible java versions. I had version 22 set as my default and could not figure out how to delete it or switch over to 17. I stopped trying for a month. This was so easy and clear to follow. Thank you!

Hi Raghav,

Thank you for creating all these amazing videos, your content is amazing and is helping me learn test automation. I am learning Python and Selenium using Python by following your playlists. I do have the following two questions for you:


1 – Will you be making some more videos on Selenium using Python, like advanced frameworks or advanced reporting?


2 – Is the following certification worth pursuing, PCAT – Certified Associate Tester with Python? If, Yes can you please recommend a good course for it?


Regards
Svens

Thansk for great explanation. I have a question
Should I remove export from my zshrc?
It was already there and java -version was pointing 21 but I needed 17 and I put path for 17 at the end of zshrc file

[adihanrafiga]

Hello, can you make a tutorial for automation with Appium and Python along with installation with or without Android Studio. Thank You

[ashishnaidu]

Hello Raghav, I'm really sorry as I was not sure where to ask this question but as needed so posted here, is there any plan in near future that you start tutorials on 'Selenium automation using C#' please?
The reason being our company uses C# for automation and it would be great help if you make tutorials on this course please.
Thanks again a lot once again for providing such a valuable knowledge to us.

Thank you for the video. When I try I got zsh: permission denied:
I have all 1.8, 17.0, 22.0 in both versions from Oracle and Homebrew, the path are different for installed from Oracle and Homebrew. I may don't need both versions? I actually try to set up connection with Spark in R-Studio and still have error there. I guess I need 1.8 for the specific SparkR version and I Studio not catching correct PATH. Have headache with it... Any thoughts?
