Answer 1

You must install the full JDK, not just the JRE, to get Java support on macOS. For some reason the JRE just installs the browser plugins, not the full Java.

This is the current JDK download page.

Answer 2

You don't need to install the full JDK. I had the same issue and eventually solved it by placing the following JAVA_HOME export in ~/.bash_profile:

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home

Hope this helps someone. I'm running Mac OS High Sierra.

Answer 3

This worked for me on macOS high sierra. Did not install JDK.

Go to terminal:

1. vim ~/.bash_profile
2. add export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
3. Save and close it.
4. . ~/.bash_profile
5. java -version

You should be able to see java version
