Before you install the JDK, create a directory in the root of your C: drive called Java. The name of this directory is arbitrary, though we call it Java because many of the tools we are going to install here are related to Java, including the JDK, Android Studio, and the Android SDK. Consistently installing the tools related to Android Studio in the C:\Java directory also keeps your development environment organized.
Navigate to the location where your browser downloaded the installation file and execute that file by double-clicking it. Once the installation begins, you will be presented with the Installation Wizard, shown in Figure 1-3. In Windows, the JDK installer defaults to C:\Program Files\Java\. To change the installation directory location, click the Change button. We recommend installing your JDK in the C:\Java directory because it contains no spaces in the path name and it’s easy to remember.

environmental variable. Place your cursor at the end of the Variable Value
field and type the following:
;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
Now click OK, OK, OK to accept these changes and back out of the system properties. To test that the new JDK has been installed properly, pull up a command line by clicking the Start button, typing cmd, and then pressing Enter. In the command-line window, issue the following command and press Enter:
