Check the Java installation

First check if Java is already installed on the computer. To check this on a Windows machine open a CMD-terminal (click on the search icon of your pc and type the following command: cmd and press enter). A black console should open. In this console type: java and press enter. Java should respond with how it should be used. If the message "'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." appears Java is not installed or not added to the environmental variable PATH of the computer.

Java download

Java can be downloaded from https://www.java.com/en/download/

Adding Java to the environmental variable PATH

Make sure that Java is within the computer’s path. See the following page for directions how to achieve this: https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/ In the last step, after pressing 'NEW' just add the full path to the Java directory (e.g.: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_191\bin, but this of course depends on the Java version).

Please note that after setting the PATH variable, the computer may require a restart before it is recognised in the CMD-terminal.

Once Java is installed, MountMonitor can be installed.
