Hi,
I’m following this Android tutorial to get started with Kotlin. This tutorial makes you write and run simple Kotlin programs in an online editor. I would like to do this locally, however, and compile the programs via the command line.
I have a working installation of Android Studio, including Kotlin. I have added C:...Android StudiopluginsKotlinkotlincbin
to my path. Based on this: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/command-line.html#create-and-run-an-application
I now call kotlinc hello.kt -include-runtime -d hello.jar
to compile a simple example program. This gives me the following error, however:
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
As far as I can tell, I need to make the Java JDK available for this to work, which is where my question comes in: I assume that I have this already as part of my Android Studio setup and that I just need to add something to my path variable. Is that correct? If so, what exactly am I looking for? I haven’t found any obvious directory next to the Kotlin directory.
Edit: Welp, I found it!
Adding C:...AndroidAndroid Studiojrebin
to my path worked. Thanks, guys!
