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.

Procedure

  1. Find the folder where Java is installed.
    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/jre1.8.0_65
      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.
