Installing JDK 21 on Windows

Posted on By Adrian Ward

Continuing our series on using apex to manage Oracle Analytics security.

The APEX ‘Stack’ consists of five components

  1. Oracle Database
  2. Java JDK
  3. ORDS (Oracle Data Rest Services)
  4. Tomcat (not Oracle!)
  5. Apex

The good news is that all of the above can be installed for free, even on windows, for you to learn from.

Lets look at how we ‘install’ JDK

Firstly we download from Java Downloads | Oracle

Now extract the zip file

I put mine into E:\apps\java\jdk21

That’s it. it is installed

Post install recommendation

setx /M JAVA_HOME "E:\apps\java\jdk21"
setx /M PATH "E:\apps\java\jdk21;%PATH%"
