Welcome to JavaRanch!

The best place to download Java from is Sun's Java Download page.

When setting your path, be careful that there are no extra spaces before or after an entry.

After setting your path, you need to open a new command prompt to use the new setting. Depending on your operating system, you might even need to reboot.

ok...from this link what i must download?...and when i do the PATH..what name i must put there?..and what is the command to open it?..i mean what i must write in RUN?

JDK 6u1 should be what you need.

The path to the bin file. Find this after you install the above.

cmd

Once the JDK is installed, you will be using command line tools to compile and run. See this Hello World (for Windows) tutorial.

With respect to setting the PATH, carefully follow Sun's installation instructions.
