re: Why Use IntegrityChecker Java for Data Integrity?

The Path variable tells the system in which directories to look for commands when using the command prompt.

IntegrityChecker Java runs on any platform that supports the Java language*—macOS and Unix, various NAS flavors based on Unix, Windows—just about everything. This page discusses how to set the Path variable on Windows systems.

* Java should not be confused or conflated with a totally different language, JavaScript.

Setting the Windows Path variable

For IntegrityChecker Java on Windows, the Path variable must be set for the Java install, and for 'icj'.

1. Open System Properties.
2. Click Environment Variables...
3. Selectd Path then click Edit...
4. Click Browse... to add each path.

Continues below for how to test that it’s working.

 

Windows System Properties

If there are older paths present to an older version of (for example) Java, you might also need to Delete the path for the older version.

3. Test it

Open a new command prompt window, then type the desired command. For example, the commands icj and java:
