Answer 1

Hey @Henna, Go to this page 

Accept the license and proceed by downloading it

Once it's downloaded, run the .exe file to install it

Click on next and then finish

Now you'll have to set the Environment path in java

Right click on my computer -> properties -> Advanced System Settings

Click on Environment variables

Click on New, Add variable name as PATH and set the variable value as the path where the JDK is installed

Follow similar steps to set CLASSPATH

Click on OK and close it

Open command prompt and type javac, you will now see that Java has been installed
