QUESTION about path enviroment variable separation

[jokbon]

Instaliation guide told me to: Set environment variable JAVA_HOME to the root directory of the extracted archive (e.g. /<...>/sapmachine-jdk-11.0.3) Add $JAVA_HOME/bin to the environment variable PATH

Question is how to separate those variables? I'am unsure how to add it to path properly, i fear of bricking my pc lol. I have this: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin" Do i need to do this? PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin";"$JAVA_HOME/bin"

Hi @jokbon, can you share the link to the documentation that says exactly this: Add $JAVA_HOME/bin to the environment variable PATH? Other than that, you should probably do both: export JAVA_HOME= export PATH=$PATH:/bin

HTH

Trying to find more permament method tho. looks like i will have to do this for all 40 of my java scrips: export JAVA_HOME= export PATH=$PATH:/bin

Whats suprising, that adding this did not help: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH" (LOCATION IS: /etc/environment)

https://github.com/SAP/SapMachine/wiki/Installation <----- This is documentation that says exactly this. (dont get me wrong i was't asking about java home as i set it up already, as it apears as variable alredy fine, i just stuck with path)

Found working workaround, i needed to set bash profile: File: .bash_profile Location: /home/[yourusername]/ File content: cat > .bash_profile export JAVA_HOME=$HOME/jdk-17.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Howewer, would be nice to know the way to set path inside /etc/environment .

@jokbon Sorry for the late reply. I read through this again. Hope you could solve your problem, also with /etc/environment now. However, I don't see any point in getting more specific in our documentation cited above. I'm going to close this ticket but feel free to post if you still need help setting your environment up for using SapMachine.
