How to check Java is installed on your PC

Your computer needs the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4 or greater installed, in order to use software developed by iceKnife.

This page outlines simple instructions on how to check the current state of Java readiness of your computer.

How to check if you have the Java 2 JRE installed
  • Instructions for all computers:

  • Open a command prompt window
  • (For Windows users, choose Start -> Run [Enter] then type "cmd" [Enter])

  • At the command prompt, type "java -version" [Enter]

  • If the result says on the first line "java version "1.4.0"", or the same but with higher numbers (i.e. "1.4.01", "1.4.1"...), then you have a suitable version of Java installed.

  • However if the numbers are lower (i.e. "1.3.x") or the result said something like "'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.", then you need to install a suitable version of Java before installing any iceKnife software.
Download the latest version of the Java Runtime Environment for your computer from Sun Microsystems. (This link will take you to Sun's Java web site)
