Couldn't able to compile the java program(Note: No Access to environment variable setup)

Question

As I tried compiling the java program it shows as,

'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

As all know that this is because of the not setting the environment variable. But the thing I don't have access to add/modify the system variables.

Is there any way to by-pass this to make it run. Please advise.

Option 1: Set %PATH% in user environment variable instead of system.
Option 2: Use set path command on every new cmd which you launch to run/compile java
Option 3: Make .bat batch files having set path command to run/compile java [recommended for you]

How to make batch files(windows only) to run/compile simple java code?

Create new text file
Edit above file and add below contents to it: echo off cls set path=%path%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin javac SourceFileName.java java MainClassName pause
Save file and rename it as launch.bat

Thanks .. As im new to java , It could be much helpful if u could post the sample code to do so.. – Lazar Thomas Apr 25 '18 at 05:57
This is not a Java specific problem. It is a basic "how do I use the Windows command prompt" problem. You probably need to read a tutorial on how environment variables work. – Stephen C Apr 25 '18 at 06:20
Arvind - sorry ... my comment was really addressed to the OP ... in response to his "show me how to do it because I am new to Java" ... – Stephen C Apr 25 '18 at 06:24

Find out the path to javac on Windows using Windows Explorer C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_161\bin and copy the path.

Add the path to environment variables like so:

Go to Control Panel, Environment Variables and Insert the address at the beginning of Path variable followed by a semicolon. i.e C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_161\bin; . Do not overwrite the existing path, just append the javac path to what you find there. Apply/save these changes and exit control panel.

Close and reopen your command prompt. Try to compile again.
