Installing JavaFX on Windows

Installing the JavaFX Setup

Well, in the heading, it's written installing the JavaFX, but here we are simply installing the java setup. Double click on the file you've downloaded and the installation will start.

Simply click on the Next button.

Choose the default folder location of your setup and again click on the Next button. 

The installation will get started. Wait for a moment to get it installed.

Alright! Our JavaFX is being installed. Click on the Close button.

Setting up the Environment Variable

Although we have successfully downloaded and installed the JavaFX setup, if we check its version on the command prompt by running the command java --version, you will get this message.

This is because our computer doesn't know that we have installed the JavaFX, so this is a time to tell our computer by setting up the environment variables.

Open the folder of Java recently being created in your C drive program files and open the bin folder. Copy the path of your bin folder.

Now, open the Edit Environment Variables window by typing the env in the search bar and press enter. Now go to the User Variables section, select the path, click the Edit button and then click on the New button. Paste the path you have copied and press the OK button.

Now, you will get a different result if you check its version from the command prompt.
