How to Install Java JDK on Mac OS and set JAVA HOME variable

How to Install Java JDK on Mac OS and set JAVA_HOME variable

Step 1 - Check if Java is already installed java -version

Step 3 - Install JDK with Homebrew brew install openjdk

Step 4 - Verify installation java -version

Step 5 - Set Java Home

Homebrew will usually set the JAVA_HOME environment variable correctly
However, if it's not set or you need to set it manually.
Can do so by adding the following line to your shell profile file
(.bash_profile, .zshrc, or similar):

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/opt/openjdk"

To apply this change, run:

source ~/.bash_profile # or ~/.zshrc if you're using Zsh

On Mac OS X 10.5 or later, we can use /usr/libexec/java_home to return the location of the default JDK.

Your tutorials are very clear and useful. I have been trying to start an Appium test in Eclipse IDE and have completed the necessary setup. However, the io.appium dependencies are not getting downloaded, and I am encountering compilation errors. I have tried redoing all the steps and debugging as much as I could, but the issue persists. Could you please suggest any solutions?
