Setting up JAVA_HOME

In order for your Talend product to use the Java environment installed on your machine, you must set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

About this task

You must complete this setup if you want to execute Jobs locally with Talend Studio.

Procedure

  1. In the directory where Java is installed, find the location of the bin directory that contains the virtual machine: bin/server/jvm.dll.
    For example:
    • /Library/Java/Home
    • /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/
  2. Open a terminal.
  3. Use the export command to set the JAVA_HOME and Path variables.
    For example:
    • export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk11.0.13
      export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
    • export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/<zulu_package>/Contents/Home/
      export PATH=/$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
  4. Add these lines at the end of the global profiles in the /etc/profile file or in the user profiles in the ~/.profile file.
    After changing one of these files you must log on again.
    The files that define global and user profiles might change depending on the version of your operating system.
