What is Path?

First, what is Path? ** Path ** is like an address ** that indicates the location of the application. Let's look at an example.

Example: Java Path indicates the location where you installed the jdk on that PC. 「C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.X.X_XXX\bin」

Example: MySQL Since "mysql.exe" is a MySQL application, the Path is ** "C: \ Program Files \ MySQL \ MySQL Server 8.0 \ bin" ** that points to its location.

Meaning to pass Path

I found that Path indicates the location of the application. By "passing the path = setting the path", you will be asking the personal computer ** to "make it possible to execute a specific program only by the program name" **.

How to pass Path in system environment variables

Let's go through Path with system environment variables immediately!

Right-click the PC in the folder → click Properties (R)

You will be taken to the system page and press Advanced System Settings.

Since the system properties will appear, click the environment variable (N)

Then select Path → Edit (E)

Then, the screen for entering the Path will be displayed. Enter Path (C: \ Program Files \ ~) here and click OK to complete.

Check if Path has passed

You can check if the Path has passed at the command prompt.

Example: MySQL Try typing "mysql --version".

If you come back as above, you are successful.
