2,036 PointsInstalled JDK during 'Introducing IntelliJ and Unpacking Packages' tutorial, but cmd/powershell returns nothing..?
As above, I installed the latest JDK when setting up IntelliJ as directed by the tutorial with Ben. When I stick java -verison into powershell/cmd (running Windows 10) it returns: "java: the term 'java' is not recognised as the name of a cmdlet, function...."
IntelliJ runs fine and sets the Project SDK as 16 version 16.0.1 so I think I have it somewhere? (edit the file path seems to be: C:\Users[me].jdks\openjdk-16.0.1\bin
ANy ideas?
I assume this is because I downloaded the JDK package from within the IDE rather than manually downloaded it and defined it within IntelliJ. But not sure why I get the error.
Edit: I tried the method used here and still get the same error - https://teamtreehouse.com/community/problem-getting-version-of-java-in-powershell-in-windows

2,036 PointsI'm going to answer this myself in case anybody ever needs it, having worked it out.
IntelliJ default stores the JDK here (or did for me anyway): C:\Users[me].jdks\openjdk-16.0.1\bin
So the solution was to use that path and add \java -version to the end. This worked for me, so it was:
C:\Users[me].jdks\openjdk-16.0.1\bin\java - version.
